Evelyn's Park Conservancy

About

Evelyn's Park, a Bellaire TX city park, opened April 22, 2017 (Earth Day) at Bellaire Blvd & Newcastle on 5 acres of what was the former Teas Nursery

Story

Evelyn's Park was dedicated as a new park in the City of Bellaire on June 25, 2011
It is located at the corner of Bellaire Blvd and Newcastle on 5 acres of what was
the former Teas Nursery.

Before Evelyn’s Park was Evelyn’s Park, the land lay home to Teas Nursery, the very first business of Bellaire. Founded in 1910 by horticulturalist Edward Teas, the eponymous nursery was the beautifier behind many of Houston’s most historic neighborhoods and businesses, from the lushly-lined esplanade of Bellaire Boulevard to the verdant grounds of Rice University.

When the landmark nursery closed in December 2009—nearly a century later—brothers Jerry and Maury Rubenstein seized the opportunity to preserve this unique piece of their community. The pair purchased and gifted the five-acre site to the city of Bellaire, under simple conditions: that it be used as parkland and that it be named in honor of their mother, Evelyn, a longtime Bellaire resident and philanthropist who shared the Teas’ love for the outdoors and the simple things that make it beautiful. To the delight of the community, a new park was born.

Mission

It is the vision of Evelyn’s Park Conservancy to create for the community
a beautiful and vibrant, urban park setting for citizens of all ages to enjoy!
