Buffalo Run Park Clearing Project
Buffalo Run Park Clearing Project

🚜🚜🚜 The latest phase of the Buffalo Run Park clearing project is underway. Most woody vegetation under 10” was removed around the community garden and volleyball court area. More work will be done later this winter and final site filling, grading, and grass seeding will resume early spring. Missouri City Green also applied for a grant to plant desirable trees in this area.

It's finally FALL in Missouri City! Join us for family fun this month at one of our upcoming events! Find details on these events and our other offerings at www.mctxparks.com

Hispanic Heritage Month is here! Since 1989, Hispanic Heritage Month is a time for Americans who identify as Hispanic to celebrate the traditions and history unique to their cultural background. Even if you don’t consider yourself Hispanic, Latino, or Latinx, you can still seize the opportunity to learn more about the cultures of the 21 Spanish-speaking countries and territories honored during these four weeks. We’ll be sharing a variety of local activities to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, and we hope you have lots of fun exploring and learning! Did you know: Hispanic Heritage Month starts on September 15 because it is a key date in the history of several Latin American countries? It’s when Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua declared their independence from Spain in 1821.

The Missouri City Recreation & Tennis Center has a new mural! This design is inspired by all the fun and adventure that is parks and recreation, all in a creative Nicky Davis style! Come visit us for an in-person look!
