Harris County Precinct 2 Parks The Parks Department provides safe and attractive environments by upgrading equipment, purchasing land, and building new facilities. Accommodations in Precinct Two include ADA/CPSC approved playground equipment, picnic facilities, baseball and soccer fields, boat ramps, and fishing piers.
The 39 parks located in Precinct Two cover 4,000 acres, which include 14 miles of walking trails. In order to maintain an efficient parks program, administrators continuously monitor department activities and policies. Because Precinct Two encompasses such a large area, the Parks Department has three divisions: East Parks, Central Parks, and South Parks.

Harris County Precinct 3 Parks Precinct Three has many lovely parks for residents with a variety of facilities available for public use. Some have unique features which make a visit worth a special trip. For example, the wildlife refuge in Bear Creek Pioneers Park is home for many interesting animals, from graceful deer gathered in shady groves to large buffalo roaming the landscape.
There is a world-class shooting range in George Bush Park where a sharpshooter can hone his or her skills. A young boy or girl can rest beside a pond to wait for a fish to bite, or there are baseball diamonds, soccer fields, and jogging trails for the energetic. We invite you to learn more about the Houston Area Live Steamers located in Zube Park.

Harris County Precinct 4 Parks Precinct 4’s Parks Department offers 23 outstanding parks that encompass over 3,000 acres. Additionally, Precinct 4 is in the process of developing Pundt Park and trails in two greenway projects: Cypress Creek Greenway and Spring Creek Greenway.
