Construction included new landscape and hardscape areas with decomposed granite trails, lawns, paver/stone plazas and terraces, planting zones, a 5.5 acre lake and native wetlands. We also constructed a boardwalk decking at the lake perimeter and throughout the woods, food truck area and chalk wall, three picnic pavilions and a new restroom building. Each building has a steel structure and wood tongue and groove deck with metal roofing. The picnic pavilions contain masonry fireplaces and tables. The new Vibrant location is part of Memorial Parks Running Complex, a major hub and access point on the south side of the park that opened in November. Located southwest of the Kinder Land Bridge and Cyvia and Melvyn Wolff Prairie, the Running Complex was designed as a central gathering spot and serves as a new gateway to enjoy the Bayou Wilds trails of Memorial Park. The Running Complex also features the Roy H. Cullen Timing Track a 400-meter, five-lane track and an event plaza that will be available to rent for private events in the future. The running complex complements the adjacent Cullen Running Trails Center, which opened in 2014 and includes visitor services, restrooms and showers. Memorial Park's transformation The Running Complex is the latest project completed under the Memorial Park Master Plan and the associated Ten-Year Plan, which aim to enhance the park's green infrastructure and protect natural resources as well as improve recreational assets for the community.
