Exciting Development: New 200-Acre Park with Trails and Dog Park Coming to New Caney

Residents of New Caney, Texas, are looking forward to a new park being developed near FM 1485 along Caney Creek. The park will cover almost 200 acres and include walking and biking trails, a dog park, a playground, a skate park, and a camping area. Burditt Consultants LLC introduced this plan at a meeting with the East Montgomery County Improvement District in March.

The park will be built in two phases. The first phase will develop 64 acres and will feature a dog park, a bicycle playground/pump track, covered shelters, and parking. The second phase will add a playground, a canopy walk, and a large lawn for community events.

The master plan for the park includes more hiking and biking trails, a trail around a pond, a boardwalk, a fishing pier, and additional camping facilities. These features aim to attract groups like the Boy Scouts. The park will also have educational signs about conservation and the preservation of local ecosystems.

Frank McCrady, president and CEO of the East Montgomery County Improvement District, noted the project's importance and its proximity to Houston. He mentioned that planning started about two years ago and aims to enhance the area's natural features for community use.
