New Park in Cypress

The $3.4 million Kickerillo-Mischer Preserve, which spans 80 acres and features the 40-acre Marshall Lake with a 1.7 mile paved trail that circles the water, opened April 1 in northwest Harris County.

The opening event allowed visitors to explore the lake by canoe or from Precinct 4's pontoon boat, fish from the banks, and experience nature presentations.

"The park is also an important birding destination and will feature activities from Precinct 4's Trails and Parks program. I'm also excited by the partnerships that have formed while developing the greenway system," Commissioner R. Jack Caglesaid. "Our goal is to connect as many parks and locations as possible, not just Precinct 4 parks. We connect communities, local municipal utility district parks and even other precincts. Cypress Park is a wonderful park in Precinct 3 that you can visit along the greenway."

The park is located along Texas 249 and the property serves as an anchor park for the Cypress Creek Greenway. Park officials say the 40-mile linear trail will stretch from west of U.S. 290 eastward to the Spring Creek Greenway at Jesse H. Jones Park & Nature Center. The reserve also provides restrooms and showers. Park officials believe the park will be an ideal camping site for scouts and other community groups.
