Briargrove Park is a subdivision in Houston, Texas, United States.

Briargrove Park is located north of Westheimer Road and inside of Beltway 8.

History

In May 2008, the Rivercrest subdivision pressured the City of Houston to block some streets leading into the neighborhood to end high traffic into the neighborhood. Afterwards the traffic moved into Briargrove Park. Briargrove Park residents began political rallying to remove the blocks of Rivercrest. Kristi Thibaut, a Texas state representative and Briargrove Park resident, sponsored a bill that would require cities to hold hearings before implementing a similar traffic alteration.

Education

Briargrove Park residents are zoned to Houston Independent School District schools. The community is within Trustee District VI, represented by Greg Meyers as of 2008.

The community is zoned to Walnut Bend Elementary School, Revere Middle School (with West Briar Middle School as an option), and Westside High School.

Walnut Bend opened in 1964, Revere opened in 1980, and Westside opened in 2000. Walnut Bend received a new campus building in 2007. Prior to the opening of Westside, Walnut Bend was zoned to Lee High School.
