2023 Parks Bond Program 

In the November 7, 2023, general election, Fort Bend County residents voted on a $153 million parks bond—part of a broader $865 million bond package that included a $712.6 million mobility bond. Voters approved the parks portion to fund expansion and upgrades in local amenities, with strict assurances that the tax rate would not increase.

The following are voter-approved projects in Pct. 4 that were part of the Bond package. Click on the individual project pages on the panel for updates on specific projects:
