Parks Master Plan
The North Houston District’s parks system serves a growing population of over 50,000 residents, plus employees who work here and visitors who travel to our region for business and leisure. The system features a network of approximately eight (8) parks and eight (8) miles of trails.
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.
After a brief rain delay, over 30 Real Greens Futbol Club kids joyously inaugurated the pitch, sending bright orange soccer balls soaring through a celebratory paper banner. NHD President Greg Simpson delivered warm opening remarks, setting the stage for an evening filled with enthusiasm and community spirit.
Houston Dynamo Defenders Brad Smith and Tate Schmitt and Dynamo/Dash coaches led a dynamic youth clinic that brought smiles to young faces and inspired budding soccer talent. The players signed autographs and posed for countless photos with local families, making the event memorable.
Valerie Holland, HDFC Vice President of Community Engagement, and her dedicated team braved a brief rainstorm to ensure the event unfolded seamlessly, underscoring their commitment to fostering community through soccer.
This new facility is located at 500 Greens Road and promises to be a hub of soccer excitement for the local community. A mini pitch is a specialized hard surface with goals at each end, designed to promote fast-paced, skillful play. Investing in the mini pitch at Wussow Park marks the first step toward North Houston District’s broader vision of a new youth soccer complex. We’re kicking off a new era of soccer accessibility and community enrichment in North Houston. 🥅👏🏻
