What we reported Harris County Precinct 2 purchased 19 acres in February to create a nature-themed park in Atascocita. The property is located just south of the intersection of West Lake Houston and Will Clayton parkways and has a natural 2-acre pond on it. The county spent $4.3 million on the land purchase. The park could include several trails, a boardwalk over the lake and meeting space in a clubhouse. However, Precinct 2 is soliciting community feedback during the design process. The Latest Harris County Precinct 2 expects to begin construction on the $3.2 million Phase I of the 19-acre, yet-to-be-named park in the second quarter of 2018.
