MacGregor Monument at MacGregor Park

McGregor Park-Neagle Field is a park and baseball venue in Houston, TX and the home field of the Texas Southern Tigers baseball team.[1] The Tigers are a member of the Southwestern Athletic Conference.[2]

MacGregor Park was a popular gathering spot for African-American youth in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Police eventually stopped the gatherings.[3]

A 42-acre section of the park is owned by the University of Houston.[4]
