Parks

There are nearly 20 existing parks throughout the Greens Bayou Corridor, and more are planned for the future. In fact, several projects are unfolding to facilitate GBCC’s goal of further developing the recreational opportunities along the bayou.

1. The National Park Service has approved a grant application to provide technical services that will result in a master plan for the entire Greens Bayou Corridor.
2. In the North Reach, Texas Parks & Wildlife has approved a $97,000-grant for development of Ida Gaye Gardens, a park designed to promote an independent lifestyle for senior citizens.
3. In the South Reach, a partnership with Houston Parks Board has been formed to develop a canoe launch park near the intersection of Greens Bayou Street and Dwight Street, just north of Interstate 10.
4. In the West Reach, NRP Group has offered to donate land to develop a linear trail system along the bayou.
