"Good parks do a lot for a neighborhood. They give kids safe places to play, give adults room to exercise, clean the air, and offer shade during Houston's long, hot summers. They also bring neighbors together and can lift nearby property values. When residents speak up during the planning process, the improvements that get built actually reflect what the community needs."

Northwest Harris County, including Cy-Fair, Spring, Tomball, and parts of northwest Houston
Harris County Precinct 4 is building master plans for all 55 of its parks, greenspaces, and trails across northwest Harris County. Community input drives the process, so what neighbors say directly shapes what gets built.
The Healthy Parks Plan is a master planning effort covering all 55 parks, greenspaces, and trails in Harris County Precinct 4. Possible upgrades include new playgrounds, better lighting, walking trails, sports courts, and improved facilities. Burnett Bayland Park is one site highlighted for a full transformation. The plan uses both community feedback and data to set priorities for where and how to invest.
You can shape what happens in your neighborhood parks by taking part in community workshops, filling out surveys, or attending stakeholder meetings. Every piece of feedback helps planners understand what residents actually want. Check the Harris County Precinct 4 website for current meeting dates and survey links so you don't miss a chance to weigh in.
If you use parks in Cy-Fair, Spring, Tomball, or northwest Houston, this plan directly affects your backyard. Families, youth sports groups, dog walkers, trail runners, and anyone who values green space in northwest Harris County all have a stake in how these 55 sites are improved.
