Today, Chevron and Impact Houston 26, the legacy initiative launched by the FIFA World Cup 2026™ Houston Host Committee with the Sports Authority Foundation, celebrated the unveiling of a new resilient soccer field at Mason Park, designed with sustainability, climate resilience, and inclusive play at its core.
This transformation goes beyond the pitch: new shade trees, habitat restoration, improved gathering spaces, educational elements, and thoughtful design features will help create a healthier, cooler, and more connected community space for generations to come.
This is the legacy we’re building together for Houston.
The "Kick Out Violence Initiative" was announced today at Ingrando Park by Houston City Council Member, Joaquin Martinez; Department of Neighborhoods Director, Herbert Sims & HPARD Deputy Director, Prentiss Collins . @JMartinez4Hou Here's the video of the announcement:
