Gulfton is an international community with about 58% of residents born outside of the United States, 75% of whom were born in Latin America. We partner with Greener Gulfton, The Nature Conservancy, Harris County Precinct 4 and Madres del Parque, a dedicated group of mothers supporting and enhancing the community, to create nature-inspired activities at Burnett Bayland Park and surrounding areas.
Learn more about the Greener Gulfton plan.
