Super
Neighborhood #22, Memorial Park/Washington Avenue, extends
from Interstate 45 at the northern edge of downtown on the
East to Loop 610 on the West. It is bounded on the North by
White Oak Bayou and the South by Buffalo Bayou, and contains
one of Houston’s primary environmental assets - Memorial
Park, the site of historic World War I Camp Logan.
Neighborhoods of the old west-end area, in proximity to the
park, are experiencing rapid growth with construction of new
single-family homes and town homes along with the
restoration of original craftsman bungalows and cottages.
The eastern end of the area includes the First and Sixth
Wards, political geographic units, which date from the 19th
Century. The Old Sixth Ward Historic District contains the
city's largest collection of Victorian era buildings.
Centrally located, Spott’s Park and Glenwood Cemetery,
along with the Buffalo and White Oak Bayou trails provide
excellent recreational opportunities. Historic Washington
Avenue itself is transforming into an exciting dining,
entertainment and shopping destination.
The
SN#22 Council meets on the 2nd Monday of the each month @
