Don’t forget to ride the Spring Branch Trail between Wirt Road and Blalock Road by Tuesday, February 22 for Houston Parks Board’s virtual challenge!

Post a social media photo of your trip using the hashtag #ParksByYou, and tag Houston Parks Board when you cycle the trail to receive a Houston Parks Board swag bag, mailed directly to you.

To access the trail, visit Schwartz Park, 8203 Vogue Ln, Houston, TX 77055, and head north through the park until you reach the trail, which heads east and west along the CenterPoint easement.

This trail was completed as Phase One of the Spring Branch Trail Project, funded and maintained by the Spring Branch Management District. Read more here for the virtual event details.

Thanks to funding by the Spring Branch Management District, plans are in motion for the Spring Branch Trail Phase Two to expand the existing Phase One trail from Gessner west to Shadowdale Drive.

Two community meetings were held about Phase Two on June 29 and October 7. The purpose of the meetings was to provide updates on the progress of design and gather community input on trail alignment, connections, and amenities. Materials from those meetings can be viewed here.

Since the community meetings were held, the design team and project funder further refined the alignment of the planned trail, including the ped/bike crossing across Gessner. To view the updated overall trail alignment plan, design plans for the Gessner crossing, and an example crossing, click here.

A community update will be provided as permitting and bidding progress.
