From time to time, it transfers land to or purchases land for the City of Houston or the Houston Parks Board LGC, a local government corporation that was formed to hold the parkland and improvements of HPB. HPB also acts as an agent for the City of Houston regarding certain funds that are maintained on behalf of the City. Two such funds provide scholarships to students. The Houston Parks and Recreation Department's A.S.K. Group and the First Tee Program determine the ASK and Dave Marr scholarship recipients and have HPB write a check directly to the school the student is attending. The ASK program and the First Tee Program monitors the initial and ongoing qualification of scholarship recipients, not HPB.
