Houston Energy Corridor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Energy Corridor is a district of Houston, Texas, United States that lies along Memorial Drive and Eldridge Parkway.
The area is loosely bound by the area just north of Interstate 10 (the Katy Freeway) and Westheimer Road/Farm to Market Road 1093 to the south, and extends from Kirkwood Road to the east and Fry Road to the West. The area is defined by many oil industry related companies ranging in size from large corporations, such as ExxonMobil and Shell Oil Company, to one man independent companies mixed in with residential neighborhoods, restaurants, and parks.

Over 26,000 acres (105 km²) of urban park area, the largest outside the National Park System, borders the Energy Corridor. Two parks adjacent to the district include George Bush Park and Bear Creek Pioneers Park. [2]
