Cullinan Park Development Gets Sugar Land’s Approval

An interlocal agreement between Sugar Land, the City of Houston, the Houston Parks Board and the Cullinan Conservancy details Phase I of the development, which includes the construction of park amenities as well as the future annexation of the park.

The 754-acre park, which sits along SH 6 north of the Sugar Land Regional Airport, is owned by the City of Houston, but Sugar Land will annex the park into its extraterritorial jurisdiction once the conservancy raises $500,000 of initial contributions.

The city council approved a memorandum of understanding between the city and the Cullinan Conservancy outlining fundraising goals for the park, including a five-year and ten-year benchmark. The city has the right to de-annex the park if the conservancy is unable to meet the fundraising goals.
