About
In 2013, the Houston Parks Board, in partnership with Houston Parks Board LGC, Inc. (the LGC), the City of Houston, Harris County Flood Control District and other entities started a 7 year project identified as the Bayou Greenways 2020 ("BG2020") program which is focused on the expansion of the City's park system along Houston's nine major bayous. Its purpose is to acquire land along the bayous within the Houston City limits, design linear parks and construct multi-use trails along the bayous. Its goal is to improve the quality of life for Houstonians by increasing equitable access to parks and trails while helping to improve flood prevention.
