Spring Creek Greenway
The potential for a 33-mile corridor is the result of the combined efforts of
Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Jerry Eversole and Montgomery County
Precinct 3 Commissioner Ed Chance. Texas Parks & Wildlife recently awarded a $1
million Regional Grant, to be split equally between Harris County Precinct 4 and
Montgomery County Precinct 3, for development of this project. Precinct 4 plans
to use their portion of the grant to fund trail construction and development at
Pundt Park.
Phase I: The current focus of this phase on the Harris County side is the
land acquisitions in the 7.5-mile corridor between Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature
Center and Pundt Park. Only one tract of land is needed along Spring Creek
within this 7.5-mile corridor.
Pundt Park: The purchase of seven out-tracts has completed land
acquisitions that now provide a contiguous 380-acre park site. The park, to be
located at the end of Spring Creek Drive, is in the final design phase and will
feature a meeting room, rest room and pavilion facility, playground, picnic
area, canoe launch, and trails.
Jones-Bender Trailhead at Jones Park: A ribbon cutting ceremony held
April 22, 2006, and hosted by Commissioner Eversole, marked the completion of
construction of this 1.5-mile trail that connects neighborhoods to the SCG.
Precinct 4 received an 80 percent grant from TPWD to fund this project, and
partnerships with area developers, Appaloosa Land Company and Kenswick Meadows,
provided land donations and construction of necessary bridge crossings.
—Appaloosa Land Company owner Vic Botrie secured a 48-acre land donation and
constructed two bridge crossings along the trail system.
Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center: A recent acquisition of a 15-acre (Alonso)
tract connects Jones Park to Cypress Creek. And a new canoe launch is in the
design phase.
Trails: Hike, bike, equestrian, and contiguous linkage.
Contiguous Trail
Precinct 4 is currently working with the Harris County Flood Control District
and Charter Development Partners, a developer, towards land tract purchases and
donations of floodplain property to bridge the lower section of Cypress Creek to
the Spring Creek Greenway to form linear connectivity.
Equestrian Trail
Working with Bush Intercontinental Airport’s “Ranger Rider Program,” Precinct
4’s plans are to develop equestrian trails that run along lower Cypress Creek to
Spring Creek.
Pundt Park Update
A new park, Pundt Park in Spring, is scheduled to begin
construction in early 2007, and trails are planned for a two-mile stretch out
of that park as well as a half-mile stretch from Jones Park in Humble. The
trails will include a 10-foot-wide asphalt trail with a parallel horseback
riding trail, said Dennis Johnston, Director of Parks for Harris County
Precinct 4.Pundt Park, located behind Lexington Woods will feature a
pavilion, picnic areas, playground, parking lots and restrooms.
