A day in the park can be a great way to share family time, get exercise, or just enjoy the beauty of blue skies, a canopy of trees, and green lawns.

Harris County Precinct One, The Trust for Public Land, and the Houston Parks Board would like your help in making improvements and increasing access to our local parks. The Park Smart Precinct One project is designed improve community health, build stronger social ties, and meet environmental challenges through determining the best, most equitable, most strategic ways to increase access to parks and trails for all Precinct One residents.

This project began in July and will take approximately 18 months to complete. One of the early phases is getting input from the public, and the county is asking for your participation in an online survey, accessible here.
