Sugar Land is closer to having a recreation area along the Brazos River:
During a workshop session held Tuesday night, the Sugar Land Parks and Recreation department recommended that the city approve the first phase of development of the Brazos River Corridor.
The corridor consists of 420 acres along 2 1/2 miles of the river. The plot of land is bounded on the north end by the University of Houston System at Sugar Land, on the east by University Boulevard, on the west by Highway 59, and on the south by the Brazos River.
“For seven or eight years, we have talked a lot about the corridor,” said Joe Chesser assistant director of Parks and Recreation. “We’re getting close to where something can actually happen on the site.”

The northern section of the corridor is projected to have vehicular trails, an open amphitheater, a 6- to 10-foot deep lake, playgrounds and parking.
The southern portion of the corridor will have pedestrian trails, a pond, picnic areas, a family activity center, a playground, parking spaces, a one-mile vehicular drive, a pavilion, restrooms, and possibly a dog park.
