To report any issues related to the MUD park or the Detention Pond Greenspaces, please contact us.
MUD Park
The eight acre MUD park is located on the east and west sides of T C Jester bordering Cypresswood Drive.
The park is owned and managed by the District and is separate from the Terranova West POA park. Both parks compliment each other with seamless access to both.
MUD Park Amenities
MUD Park amenities and facilities include a lighted, crushed granite, 1⁄2 mile trail, a combination baseball/softball field, volleyball court, multi use soccer field, eight exercise stations, flag pole, Veterans Memorial, bulletin board, picnic tables, benches, and charcoal grills.
MUD Park History
Residents voted in 2006 to authorize a bond for purchase of the land, and to vote in favor of the District constructing the park.
Park construction was completed and was opened to residents and invited guests in April, 2008.
While the original park project was completed in 2008, the park has never been considered finished. Each year the District evaluates what improvements to amenities and landscaping can be done within the budget to further enhance the park experience for residents and invited guests.
MUD Park Mascot
Located on the south side trail intersection, an inactive fire hydrant, decorated for the season and special occasions, holds court over the park. The idea was to create a unique draw that residents, and especially children, would look forward to seeing as the decoration changes. The current theme usually lasts anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the time of year.
Trees
The District partnered with the non profit Trees for Houston multiple years to plant new trees in the park, common areas, and green spaces throughout the District. Trees for Houston typically donated 50 trees at a time and the District’s landscaper planted the trees for free as a community service. Since 2008, over 350 trees have been planted. Precinct 3 and the Harris County Arborist donated 35 saplings in 2019 including two Texas Heritage Oak saplings grown from acorns found on the Texas A&M campus and the Kissing Tree Heritage Oak located at the corner of Louetta Road and T C Jester. Both trees are marked with plaques in the park. The District is extremely appreciative of the support.
Detention Pond Greenspaces
Recognizing the need for additional green spaces within the District, the three Detention Ponds, all located on or near the Spring Creek Gulley on the District’s west side, have been enhanced with trails, amenities, wildflowers, and trees for the enjoyment of District residents and guests. A wide variety of wildlife can be found in all three greenspaces. Like the MUD Park, the District is always looking at ways to improve all three green spaces.
The District map, located on this site under “Navigation”, “District Map”, details the locations of the Detention Pond Greenspaces.
Reclaim Irrigation
Effective 2025, reclaim water is used to irrigate the majority of the MUD and POA common areas, parks, and medians within the District. This innovative program will save the District money and conserve treated water previously used for irrigation. You can read more about the program including a map of the areas irrigated with reclaimed water on this site under “Navigation”, “Water”, Reclaim Water”.
