  • Willow Waterhole Greenspace Conservancy

    Conservation and Maintenance: Willow Waterhole Greenspace Conservancy encompasses six interconnected lakes surrounded by trails, gardens, and wildlife habitats. With over eight miles of accessible walking paths, clear wayfinding, and numerous amenities, it offers a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience in Houston. Designed to manage stormwater while sustaining native ecosystems, the Greenway blends conservation, recreation, and discovery. The detention basin's six lakes capture and temporarily store excess water from Willow Waterhole Bayou, reducing flooding in the Brays Bayou watershed before gradually releasing the water back once levels recede.

  • Capital Improvements for Willow Waterhole Greenspace

    Capital Improvements: Capital improvements for the Willow Waterhole Greenspace Conservancy include projects that enhance both conservation and public access across the park's six lakes and surrounding habitats. These efforts encompass the construction of new paved walking and biking trails that connect key areas of the greenway, along with the addition of amenities such as parking lots, picnic areas, fishing piers, way-finding signage, benches, and trailheads to support visitor use and enjoyment. They also include land acquisition and expansion of the greenway to protect natural habitats, increase flood control capacity, and preserve native prairie reserves. These infrastructure improvements restore and sustain the ecological health of environment while providing meaningful public access to nature.
