A top priority of the Buffalo Bayou Partnership is to build a contiguous system of trails on the north and south banks of Buffalo Bayou from Shepherd Drive to the Turning Basin. This will give Houstonians and our visitors 20 miles of trails to run, walk and bike along our waterway.

In 2008, the trails from Shepherd Drive to Sabine Street will be re-paved by TxDOT. These trails have already been designed and funded and are awaiting final approvals from the city.

From Sabine to Bagby Street, 2 miles of trails now connect the Allen Parkway trails to Sesquicentennial Park downtown in our newest park on Buffalo Bayou, completed March, 2006.

The North Side Trail from Sesquicentennial Park to UH Downtown was completed in the summer of 2003. More than 75 trees were recently planted to make this area a shaded oasis from the heat of downtown.

Segments of trails from McKee Street to North York are completed and more are under construction as we acquire lands and funding. Segments now in progress should be completed by September 2007.
