Homestead Detention Basin Trails

	NEIGHBOORHOOD: Trinity/Houston Gardens PROJECT UPDATES: A Community meeting to gather input was held in December 2020.  Designs are still be finalized and bids for construction should open by the end of 2021. EST.  COMPLETION DATE: December 2021 ESTIMATED NO. MILES: 1.3

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Quality recreational opportunities are essential to the health and well-being of every community. Precinct One is partnering with the Harris County Flood Control District to provide pedestrian trails and other features within a recently completed 75 acres detention basin at Homestead Road and the I-610 North Loop. A small trail would also connect surrounding neighborhoods just north of the detention basin to this trail network.

PROJECT BENEFITS:

While the Homestead Detention Basin is primarily designed to mitigate flooding along Hunting Bayou, the site can also provide much needed natural greenspace to a historically underserved neighborhood. The addition of trails can provide healthy recreational opportunities for people of all ages.
