- Watch Spring Creek Greenway Video.
The new Spring Creek Greenway Gateway Complex on the east side of Riley Fuzzel Road at Spring Creek adjacent to the Peckinpaugh Preserve will be complete this Fall. The 10,000 square foot facility will contain a nature center, community center, a Sheriff’s Patrol Office, pavilion with restrooms and nature trails.
The $2.2 million dollar project is scheduled to be completed in August of 2010. The project is being funded with monies from the sale of the Rayford Road Community Center and a Texas Parks & Wildlife grant. The complex is situated on an 11.6 acre site donated by Midway Spring Trails Partners, L.P., the Houston based developer of the adjacent Spring Trails master planned community. The developer donated the land to the Spring Creek Greenway Foundation who donated the land to the County.
Also under construction at the site is a new parking area and trailhead entrance to the Peckinpaugh Preserve. The new trailhead will make it easier to access this beautiful nature area. The old trailhead at the end of Old Riley Fuzzel Road is also being improved to better accommodate equestrians, canoeist and kayakers. For more information, please contact Commissioner Ed Chance’s Office at 281 367-3977.
