Cullinan Park is a natural area of 750 acres of prairie and woodlands. The park is located in Fort Bend County. It is one of the most important natural areas of the Houston metro area and a $1.4 million dollar project is beginning to improve several things within the park. According to the Cullinan Park Conservancy, this project will extend the entryway and add more than 1.2 miles of new trails.

Joe Chesser, Sugar Land’s director of parks and recreation, told the Fort Bend Star that “the Cullinan Park improvements have truly been a demonstration of a great partnership among multiple agencies” The project will be done with donations that the Sugar land city accepted and with the budget of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. 

Cullinan Park was annexed in 2016 to Sugar Land after reaching an interlocal agreement with Houston and a memorandum of understanding with the Cullinan Park Conservancy. Under the terms of those agreements, Sugar Land will provide park security, maintenance and operations, and management of design and construction projects, Adolph said.
