1983 Green Ribbon Report
A citizens' group was appointed by local, state and federal authorities in the early 1980s to prepare a multi-year action plan which would correct deficiencies and allow the parks and recreation system to keep pace with growth in Houston. This study required exhaustive efforts of over 100 people and, to this day, is still an important planning tool when considering how the parks system must respond and grow.

1993 Mayor's Transition Committee on Parks - Update to the Green Ribbon Report
A decade after the Green Ribbon Report was presented, Mayor Robert Lanier formed the Transition Committee on Parks to determine if the parks system was headed in the right direction. The committee strongly believed that the majority of the recommendations in the Green Ribbon Report were still valid. Click the links below to download the report:
