A Park Built by the Community, for the Community
Camden Park represents a powerful collaboration between the City of Houston, Westchase District, and a long list of generous corporate and philanthropic donors. The City purchased the land for $2.4 million, while Westchase District contributed $12.1 million from its 380 Agreement to develop the site. Donors like Camden Property Trust, H-E-B, Phillips 66, CenterPoint Energy, and others helped close the final $3.2 million needed to complete the park and transform it into a regional destination.
Named in honor of Camden Property Trust—the primary donor—Camden Park officially celebrated its grand opening on April 12, 2025.
