Up to $200 million in investments may include new construction and/or maintenance of park facilities and trails, including floodable parks, trail projects, and inclusive parks for people with disabilities.
- Harris County’s previously-authorized parks bonds are nearly fully allocated. Capital project spending levels on parks will decrease over time without a new bond authorization.
- Bond funds can be used for land acquisition or capital improvements within existing County parks. Many project types are eligible, including ballfields, playgrounds, restrooms, picnic facilities, and utility systems.
In addition to the pipeline of planned projects in precincts, other opportunities include:
- Floodable parks
- Inclusive and accessible parks for people with disabilities
- Trail projects along creeks and utility corridors that increase connectivity, including extensions and connections to existing regional trail systems such as the Bayou Greenways network.
