Exploration Green is one of Houston’s most innovative and praised urban environmental projects. Located in Clear Lake, this massive 200-acre nature reserve and stormwater detention area is being developed in multiple phases. Phase 3A is part of the third expansion zone, including restored native wetlands, hike-and-bike trails, and reforested areas. The project transformed an old golf course into a sustainable urban green space that holds millions of gallons of stormwater while supporting diverse ecosystems. With educational signage, birdwatching areas, and community events, Exploration Green is a model for combining ecology, flood control, and recreation in a densely populated area.
