Message froM the Mayor
Quality of life is one of the things that makes living in Deer Park so incredible. I’d like to take a moment and remind our residents about all of the family-friendly and socially-distanced events made available by our Parks and Recreation Department, because while we want to continue to keep our families safe, I know we’re all looking forward to getting out and making some memories this summer.
Jerry Mouton Jr.
First, the Parks and Recreation Department will once again host the hugely successful “Concerts in the Park” series, featuring a wide variety of musical groups for our citizens to enjoy. These events will be held in and around the Dow Park Pavilions, a state-of-the-art venue completed with the assistance of Type B economic development sales and use tax funding. I would encourage our residents to learn about these concerts ahead of time and plan to attend with your friends and family.
I’m also excited to announce that 4th Fest – the department’s annual Independence Day celebration – will be offered this year on Sunday, July 4th. After everything we as a community have endured during this pandemic, it is so important that we gather safely and celebrate our country and our freedom.
Finally, remember that your city is full of beautiful parks and greenspaces maintained by our Parks and Recreation Department staff. If you haven’t already, take advantage of the opportunity to walk around the Deer Park Nature Preserve, which is a great place to experience the outdoors, take photos and explore nature.

PHASE 1 HIKE AND BIKE TRAIL
The project is currently receiving bids for construction services.

The Baseball Complex has been completed. Work continues on gaining access for a bridge for access to future parking.
Harris County Flood Control has responded to the City that access to the bridge needs to be identified. City staff is working on an Easement with the adjacent property owner to gain and use access for drainage channel maintenance. A survey is being completed to identify property lines to complete this process.

We hope to have this portion completed by late Spring of 2021.
