The redesign and redevelopment of Shield Park is an opportunity to make this vital community resource even more accessible and sustainable. Sports courts, including basketball courts, will be featured alongside family-oriented playgrounds and space for cultural programming like movies and concerts.

The park will be landscaped with ecologically beneficial rain gardens to capture and infiltrate rainfall. Native plants and pollinator gardens will support local ecosystems without draining resources, and large trees will provide shade in Galveston's summer heat.
