Creating a space for everyone

The transformation of Memorial Park is a testament to the power of creating a space that is not only beautiful, functional, and sustainable, but also deeply important to the community it serves. Using technology solutions such as AutoCAD and Civil 3D, a variety of teams collaborated, designed, and constructed the now iconic Kinder Land Bridge and Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Prairie that also doubles as an impressive stormwater management system. Perhaps, most importantly, it’s a destination that has become a meaningful part of the social fabric of Houston, Texas.

"AutoCAD was essential for drawing contours, path layout, planting plans, and custom features like benches and signage,"
