Sugar Land Civic Arts

09/30/2026

This is an awesome example of how art can be woven into the way we design and experience our community! We’re excited to see sustainability and civic creativity working hand in hand to make Sugar Land a better place to live, work, and play.

A WISE Win for Sugar Land! 🏆

The City of Sugar Land Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with our Utilities and Civic Arts departments, has received the Water Innovation Strategies of Excellence (WISE) Award from H-GAC!

The award recognizes projects that use innovative approaches to improve and protect water resources in our community. Sugar Land was recognized for the rainwater harvesting cistern installed as part of the new shade structure at the Sugar Land Memorial Park Butterfly Garden.

This project was truly a team effort! Parks and Recreation worked with Utilities on the rainwater harvesting system, while Sugar Land Civic Arts helped bring an artistic touch to the project through the decorative wrap on the cistern. Together, the project combines water conservation, recreation and public art in one of our community's outdoor spaces.

Staff attended the H-GAC award ceremony on September 29 to accept the award and celebrate this collaborative effort.

Congratulations to everyone who helped make this award-winning project possible! 👏
