PARKS

Connections Park, a new public park is coming to the Howe community! This park will be located on the east side of Howe on the curve where Young St becomes E FM 902. Anyone driving by can now see a sign stating that the park is coming soon.

A 10-acre plot of land has been secured to build the outdoor recreational facility to improve the overall well-being of community members of all ages. This park will provide elements to safely enhance the play of younger children, to go beyond general school sports that already have facilities for preteens and teenagers, to allow adults to walk, exercise, and play, as well as to create a place where larger gatherings can come together. The plan includes building a large, community-built playground, a covered pavilion, tennis courts, a large open space, and more.
