FEATURED IMPACT COMING SOON O cials with Harris County Precinct 4 and the Gulfton community broke ground July 8 on two new hard-surface mini soccer pitches in Houston’s Gulfton neighborhood. Located in Burnett-Bayland Park at 6000 Chimney Rock Road, Houston, the July 8 groundbreaking event took place three weeks after FIFA chose Houston as one of the 16 host cities for the 2026 World Cup. “Soccer is a tool in the building of community, of helping us come together,” Precinct 4 Commissioner Jack Cagle said at the groundbreaking. The Dynamo, Houston’s Major League Soccer team, partnered with Harris County to develop 15 mini-pitches across the city and county. The project includes lighting, fencing, goals, benches and lockable storage at the site. An opening timetable for the new parks had not been set as of press time Aug. 1.
