Hill at Sims Trails

NEIGHBOORHOOD: Sunnyside PROJECT UPDATES: Trails at the Hill at Sims are currently in the early stages of design. In 2019, in partnership with the Houston Parks Board, Precinct One funded an initial programming study of the Hill at Sims site and feedback was gathered at a community meeting on November 13, 2019. See the below links to view the study and corresponding materials: Hill at Sims Study Hill at Sims Study - Executive Summary Hill at Sims Study - Executive Summary in Spanish UPCOMING COMMUNITY MEETINGS: Two community meetings will be held in 2021 to gather input on the next phase. Keep this webpage bookmarked for meeting announcements. EST.  COMPLETION DATE: TBD

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The Hill at Sims Trails will be located on the site of a stormwater detention basin and adjacent land along Sims Bayou and Scott Street in southern Harris County. Precinct One and the Houston Parks Board are currently designing a system of pedestrian trails for the site. This greenspace could serve a dual purpose that both protects homes and businesses during severe weather, and provides access to safe, healthy recreational opportunities for everyone to enjoy. 

PROJECT BENEFITS:

• An additional network of pedestrian trails would help provide families with nearby access to miles of recreational opportunities and outdoor activities.
• Trails would also help to better connect the community to the Sims Bayou greenway and expand access to active transportation
• Additional trails on Sims Bayou can contribute to a greener, more resilient community.
