MacGregor Park, park in Houston, Texas, United States

MacGregor Park is a park and baseball venue in the Third Ward of Houston, Texas, covering 82.79 acres (33.50 ha). It holds an 18-hole disc golf course, an outdoor basketball court, a swimming pool, a weight room, a lit sports field and a 1.25-mile hike and bicycle trail. A 42-acre section is owned by the University of Houston, and Neagle Field is the home field of the Texas Southern Tigers baseball team.

Named after Henry Frederick MacGregor, a New Hampshire native with Northern Irish ancestry, the park was realized after his 1923 death: his estate funded it and his widow Elizabeth "Peggy" MacGregor donated the land. Will Hogg gave trees for the War Mothers Memorial, a World War I memorial, and R. O. Bosworth of Howe & Wise completed the 1926 land survey. Hare & Hare developed the grounds through the mid-20th century.

MacGregor Park is named for Henry Frederick MacGregor, a New Hampshire native with Northern Irish ancestry who proposed the park and died in 1923 before it was finished; his widow Elizabeth "Peggy" MacGregor donated the land. A 1927 statue of Peggy as a young woman by Gutzon Borglum, commissioned by Henry, was moved here and restored in 1997. Houston Chronicle writer Andrew Dansby noted the park's place in the city's hip-hop culture, with songs named after it in 1985 and 2015.

The park sits alongside Brays Bayou and is accessible through a network of trails and greenways that make it easy to explore different areas. Visitors should know that some facilities show their age, with improvements currently planned to enhance access for everyone.

The park's 1927 statue of Peggy MacGregor as a young woman was made by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, on commission from her husband Henry; the city's Municipal Art Commission moved it to the park and restored it in 1997. A memorial stone for MacGregor was designed by William Ward Watkin.
