The Club Creek Park & Houston Vietnam Veterans Memorial project is led by the TIRZ 20 Southwest Houston Redevelopment Authority, in collaboration with City Council Member Edward Pollard, Harris County Flood Control District, and the City of Houston Parks and Recreation Department. The project provides a thoughtfully designed public space that honors veterans while offering residents a place for reflection, recreation, and community gathering.
