Exploration Green is a project to convert an old golf course into a series of detention ponds and natural amenities in Clear Lake.
The project, which protects surrounding homes from flooding during storms and has a hike and bike trail for residents to enjoy, includes five phases, and the final phase is set to wrap up this summer.
The project is being done by the Clear Lake City Water Authority, an entity that provides water, sewer and drainage services to Clear Lake.
