Houston Greenways 2020: Sims Bayou Is Getting a New Trail

HOUSTON, TX — The Bayou Greenways 2020 project is transforming more than 3,000 acres of land along Houston waterways, and has a goal of creating a network of 150 miles of connected parks and trails.

The organization took another step toward that goal this week when it announced the construction off the design stage of a 1.3-mile greenway and trail along Sims Bayou.

The trail will accommodate hikers and bikers along the bayou between Old Galveston Road and Deeds Drive.

The Houston Parks Board said in a statement that the project would be completed in about a year and would include the construction of another trail along the bayou in Milby Park that will connect to a futsal court and two parking lots.
