Because of a major redistricting measure passed by Commissioners Court recently, most county parks and facilities in northern and western Harris County have been switched to new precincts. We are working quickly to update our web pages to reflect those changes, but some of the information on these pages may be incorrect or outdated for the immediate future. We ask for your patience as we update this information.
For assistance, please call 832-927-4444 or email service@hcp4.net.
