Guideline Management Services is proud to have led the transformation of Stephen Woodring Park, a project that earned Harris County MUD No. 71 recognition as a 2025 Sustainability Stars Honoree by the West Houston Association. This award highlights regional projects that exemplify resilient, efficient, and forward-thinking infrastructure design in support of long-term livability.

Guideline oversaw the park’s $4 million redevelopment from planning through construction, including the replacement of aging equipment, installation of new amenities, and expansion of parking to meet growing demand. As part of a future-phase municipal water reuse initiative, the park is designed to support the use of reclaimed water from the splash pad for park irrigation, advancing long-term goals for conservation and resource efficiency.

Stephen Woodring Park reflects both environmental responsibility and local pride, revitalizing underutilized land into a welcoming public amenity that celebrates nature, wellness, and sustainability. The Sustainability Stars Award celebrates this transformation as a benchmark of sustainable infrastructure that aligns with WHA’s mission to encourage high standards of development and improve quality of life across the West Houston region.
