F.M. Law Park
Located in southeast Houston, the $1.4 million Junior Golf Learning Center houses a training center, an 80-station lighted driving range, putting and chipping greens and a nine-hole golf course designed specifically for Houston's championship Junior Golf team and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department's Junior Golf program participants. This program provides social skills and sporting opportunities for youths ages 7 to 18 free of charge.
Fund-raising was led by Houston Parks Board Member Nancy Reynolds. The golf course facilities were designed and constructed by Houston's own Jay Riviere.

"Our city's junior golf program not only teaches these young people about the game of golf, it teaches them skills and gives them self-esteem they need to succeed in life. With the opening of the Junior Golf Learning Center, the program will now have a permanent home."
