"Parks are good for your health, your neighborhood, and your safety. Precinct 1 builds parks on floodplain land, which helps reduce flooding while giving everyone a place to walk, fish, play, and unwind. The goal is to make sure every community has access to quality green space."
Harris County Precinct 1 Parks & Recreation, led by Commissioner Rodney Ellis, manages parks across Harris County with jogging trails, playgrounds, fishing and boating access, and sports facilities. The department builds and maintains parks on floodplain land — like the Clear Creek Chain of Parks — to boost flood resilience. Staff clear land, design facilities, install playground equipment, and landscape Hike & Bike Trails. All Precinct 1 parks are open community spaces for everyone.
