Greens Bayou Paddle - and Coolgreen Park

​Join us to paddle the beautiful, cypress-lined banks of Greens Bayou!

We'll do an easy 2.5 mile paddle (50-60 min.) up Greens from Thomas Bell Foster Park's kayak launch to Strickland Park. There, we'll dock our craft (kayak, canoe + SUP all welcome) for a private guided tour of Coolgreen Park - a splendid, in-development park springing from the "rewilding" of a former golf course.

Members of the Houston Parks Board's Conservation + Maintenance team will be on hand for a guided tour, including highlights of the site's history; a peek at the native-plant nursery operating at the site; and thoughts on the site's future.

​We'll then paddle back to Thomas Bell Foster, where there's ample parking, and folks can return home. We plan to work with Kayaking Texas to provide rentals - please book through them if you need a craft.

​Meanwhile, consider signing up for the November 1 "Parks By You" volunteer day at Thomas Bell Foster Park, where volunteers will be working on habitat restoration, establishing a "bat prairie," and more.
