Bayou Greenways Maintenance and Conservation
In 2014, The Houston Parks Board entered into a long-term agreement with the City of Houston to provide ongoing maintenance for the Bayou Greenways system, an integrated system of connected linear parks and trails along nine major bayous within the Houston city limits. Unspent funds from the annual maintenance fee are used for trail and bridge capital replacement projects along the bayous. The Houston Parks Board incorporates conservation in the maintenance of the bayous to preserve, create, and enhance the region's habitats through initiatives including tree plantings, prairie rebuilds, and wetland creations.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$13.8MParkland Planning and Improvement Initiatives

In 2013, the Houston Parks Board, in partnership with Houston Parks Board LGC, Inc. (the LGC), the City of Houston, Harris County Flood Control District, and other entities started a multi-year project identified as the Bayou Greenways program which is focused on the expansion of the City's park system along Houston's nine major bayous. Its purpose is to acquire land along the bayous within the Houston City limits and design and construct linear parks and multi-use trails along the bayous. At its estimated 2027 completion, this project will provide access to over 3,000 acres of green space, 150 plus miles of new trails, improved flood prevention, and equitable access to parks, thus improving the quality of life for all Houstonians.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2023 – Jun 30, 2024Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2M
