Legendary award-winning tennis player, Zina Garrison, will host a community Funday at MacGregor Park on October 28, 2017 from 9am-4pm. Funday In The Park is a way for Houstonians affected by Hurricane Harvey to relax, release and find relief.
“I know how much people in the community surrounding MacGregor Park, Sunnyside and beyond have suffered. I too lost everything during Harvey. It’s been stressful but we are ‘Houston Strong’ and what better way to celebrate than a mega-watt party in the park. We want entire families to come out to this free event and just enjoy. Bring blankets and lawn chairs and we’ll supply the rest.” said, Garrison.
