Cypress Creek Greenway Hike and Bike Trails

The mission is to preserve a natural corridor along Cypress Creek and its major tributaries, to use the Greenway to connect a series of existing and future anchor parks, and to develop a trail system along the entire length of the Greenway that will link to other trails in the Greenway parks and local communities.

Through the construction of an extensive trail system and additional parks, connectivity is being created along Cypress and Little Cypress Creeks.

The Greenway creates natural floodplain buffer zones, contiguous trail connectivity, and linear wildlife habitat.

Cypress Creek Greenway is a partnership with Cypress Creek Flood Control Coalition, Harris County Precincts 3 and 4, Texas Parks & Wildlife Department, Municipal Utility Districts, and other foundations.

In partnership with the County and Greater Houston Off-Road Biking Association, Cypresswood Trail, a single-track, natural-surface mountain bike trail has been created from east of Collin's Park baseball fields to T.C. Jester Blvd.

Mountain bicyclists have access to the trailhead parking lot, restroom facilities, and water fountains in Collins Park.

The first completed piece of the Cypress Creek Greenway is the Gourley Nature Trail, which is named in honor of Genevieve and Robert Gourley, who donated the easement. The trail connects Collins Park with Meyer Park, and is approximately 2,850 feet long and 10 feet wide.
