Park History

Harris County acquired the acreage here in 1994 for flood control purposes.  It is at the headwaters of Bear Creek.  Commissioner Radack decided to make most of it a park.  The park includes flood water detention ponds and will include a chain of lakes, trails, and blinds to accommodate the birdwatchers who've long been attracted to the Katy prairie.  Wild geese and many migrating smaller birds frequent the area.

Paul D. Rushing Park was named for the engineer who headed the Precinct Three Engineering Department from 1989 until he retired in 2002 (see Paul D. Rushing Biography Adobe Acrobat PDF Icon below).  Paul D. Rushing died in May 2003.

This park includes playgrounds, a gazebo and a softball complex that is the home of the Katy Girls Softball Association.  For more information call 281-496-2177.
