Community members gathered on June 21 to celebrate the grand opening of the new $5.5 million George H.W. Bush Community Center in the Cypress Creek Cultural District.
“The George H.W. Bush Community Center has been years in the making and comes as a result of persistence and hard work of our elected officials joining hands with community organizations and leadership in their common goal of enriching the quality of life for its residents,” said Clara Lewis—vice president of the Cypress Creek Cultural District—in a written statement.
The two-story center measures 24,500 square feet and features eight classrooms, three exercise rooms, a kitchen, lockers, a conference room and a community hall.
As previously reported by Community Impact, the space previously served as a gym and annex space for the Cypress Creek Christian Church and Community Center, which still operates today. The gym and annex buildings closed in 2017 following flooding during Hurricane Harvey and were later purchased by Harris County Precinct 4 in 2018. Precinct 3 took over the project in March 2022 after commissioner precinct redistricting occurred.
