Review & FAQ:
Gragg Park Complex is a charming Houston city park located at the intersection of the city's Wheeler Street and South Wayside Drive, originally developed by the city at the site of NASA's former Gragg Building in 1977. In 2013, the National Register of Historic Places-listed Gragg Building was awarded a People's Choice Heritage Award for its architectural renovations, turning the former Gemini program building into a major city parks department complex. Lovely spacious grassy lawns offer shaded day-use picnic sites, while a community-use ball field encourages outdoor recreation. Public art within the park includes the Yuri A Gagarin Statue and the John H. Glenn, Jr. Panel, which honor the legendary 20th-century astronauts, as well as "Standing Vase With Five Flowers," included within the Houston Municipal Art Collection.
