Park & Trails Development

Designing Tomorrow’s Parks & Trails

With nearly 70 acres of parks and more than eight miles of trails, the North Houston District’s recreation system serves a growing population of more than 50,000 residents, 40,000 employees, and countless visitors who travel to our region for business and leisure.

Knowing that outdoor amenities are essential for healthy, thriving communities and for improving the well-being of all, the District will remain dedicated to expanding our park system and developing contiguous trails along Greens Bayou.

Knowing that parks and trails are essential for healthy, thriving communities and improving the quality of life for all, the District seeks opportunities to expand our park system. In partnership with Asakura Robinson, the North Houston District worked with community members and key stakeholders to develop a long-term vision and a near-term plan for priority investments in parks, trails, and pedestrian access projects.

The 2023 North Houston Parks Master Plan takes stock of existing parkland, partnerships, and community needs to create a cohesive network of parks, open spaces, and trails in the future.
