East Montgomery County Improvement District seeking public input on 200-acre park in New Caney

A community meeting will be held May 26 to gather input on the East Montgomery County Improvement District's 200-acre park planned for New Caney.

What are the options?

EMCID leaders will be gathering community feedback on the park ahead of filing an application with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department for a grant, according to a May 8 social media post from the improvement district. Ideas for EMCID's park include gardens, playgrounds and walking and biking trails.

According to the post, meeting topics will include:

• EMCID and community development
• The property where the park will be located
• The current proposal for the park
• Questions and comments from the community

Remember this?

Included in EMCID's 200-acre park is a dog park, which has been under construction since April 2025, as previously reported by Community Impact. The project has been delayed due to changes to the original project plans, and a new opening date has not yet been announced.

The event

EMCID's community meeting will begin at 6 p.m. May 26 at The Atrium Center, which is located at 21575 Hwy. 59 in New Caney.
