Report Park Issues to the City and County

It is critically important that park issues are officially reported via the City of Houston 311 System and/or the Harris County Flood Control Service Center. Once you submit an issue and get a Case Number, please email FWP with this information and we will attempt to escalate the request further. Additionally, Friends of Woodland Park monitors service requests at our regular board meetings.

Note: The park Community Center address is 212 Parkview Street, 77009. The park is bounded by I-45/North Freeway on the east, Wrightwood on the south, Houston Avenue on the west, and Parkview Street on the north. Little White Oak Bayou runs northeast to southwest through the park. You may need to use these and other landmarks to report issues. It is helpful to have photos and location coordinates (many mobile phones can provide this information.)
