Atascocita Community Center

Project: Harris County Precinct 3’s 11th community center is being planned for Atascocita Park, Commissioner Tom Ramsey said during the Sept. 4 event. The community center will be connected to the park’s trail network and provide the community with spaces for events. The center could also eventually house a generator so the center can be used as a cooling/warming center during extreme weather events.

Update: The center, which is currently being renovated from an existing building, is expected to be completed by late December, Ramsey said. The name of the center will be debuted later this year.
  • Timeline: February-December 2025
