Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center and Trails at the Peckinpaugh Preserve

The new Spring Creek Greenway Nature Center at 1300 Riley Fuzzel Road at Spring Creek, adjacent to the Peckinpaugh Preserve, is open Mondays - Saturdays 9:00a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed on Sundays and County holidays. Gates to the parking, pavilion, restrooms and trails are open 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. every day.

The 11,000 square foot facility contains a nature center, community center, Sheriff’s Patrol District II Offices, pavilion with restrooms and nature trails. The $2.2 million dollar project was funded with monies from the sale of the Rayford Road Community Center and a Texas Parks & Wildlife grant. The complex is situated on an 11.6 acre site donated by Midway Spring Trails Partners, L.P., the Houston based developer of the adjacent Spring Trails master planned community. The developer donated the land to the Spring Creek Greenway Foundation in memory of Plato Pappas. The Foundation donated the land to the County. The site also includes a new parking area and trailhead entrance to the Peckinpaugh Preserve. The new trailhead will make it easier to access this beautiful nature area. The old trailhead at the end of Old Riley Fuzzel Road is also being improved to better accommodate equestrians, canoeist and kayakers. For more information, call (281) 364-4225.
