Topics Include:

The Grand Opening for Presidential Park & Gardens is scheduled for September, 2009.  Media access to the site can be arranged prior to the official opening. Once the park is completed and the WaterLights district opens, the City of Pearland estimates that the park will initially attract over 2 million visitors annually.

The park, only 15 minutes from downtown Houston, will feature 44 larger-than-life statutes of all the United States Presidents in a pristine garden setting. The historic multi-million dollar park is located in a beautiful, wooded setting on the southern border of the WaterLights district. Currently, all of the presidents are completed, many are already installed on the site, and the Obama sculpture (currently in development) will be completed in time for the inauguration.

The presidential sculptures -- all at least 18 feet in size -- are the creation of internationally acclaimed artist David Adickes.  Adickes is now working on the Obama sculpture.
