Background and Discussion:
Harris County Precinct 2 is empowered with fifty-five (55) parks including hike and bike trails and undeveloped green space. The parks are diverse in terms of themes and park goers' accommodations. A list of just a few recreational accommodations are as follows:
• Two (2) dog parks in two (2) of our parks

• For those who really like water, we also have a beach park that encompasses two (2) beaches with seasonal lifeguard attendance
• "All Inclusive Park" which will accommodate our "special needs" community • Multiple walking trails and nature trails • Horse arena for horseback riding
