How we got here
The projections
Precinct 3 service areas Cy-Fair has 30 total parks of varying sizes, the smallest being “pocket parks” and the largest being the Spring Creek Greenway.
The Precinct 3 Parks and Trails Master Plan debuted in 2023 and divided the north Houston area into four service areas: Cypress, Spring, Humble and Crosby. Officials with Commissioner Tom Ramsey’s office said park improvements were needed because population in the area, which spans over 555 square miles, is expected to double by 2045. The population growth will also increase demand for recreational facilities, trails and green space access, officials said. “Population growth in the north Houston area is a major driver for the master plan,” Precinct 3 officials said in an email. “Planning is required to ensure parks and trails keep pace with that growth.” When the plan was first released, an estimated cost of all the projects totaled over $758 million and is being funded through a mix of county, state and other partner funds. The total project cost is subject to change as more projects launch.
Precinct 3 officials said projects in the master plan could also be completed through partnerships with other entities. “We are consistently looking for partnership opportunities with other agencies,”officials from Ramsey’s office said in an email. “That includes other cities like the city of Houston, [Municipal Utility Districts], developers, etc.” Budget breakdown for Cy-Fair service area recommendations $166.5M: Trails $55.2M: New park facilities $15.1M: Park renovations $4.3M: Natural parks features Total: $241.1M
