This project started in the summer of 2019 with 2 HOA Board members attending the monthly MUD#248 district board meetings.   First presentations given were for the building and installation of the Walking Trails in White Oak Springs and White Oak Falls.  With much patience and work, the Walking Trails were installed in both subdivisions in Q1 of 2020, just in time for COVID-19 and giving our residents a way to remain sane and healthy while living in this pandemic time.  A HUGE thank you to the MUD248 board for approving and funding this project.

​

In October 2019, the Playground Project initiative was presented to the new Weiser Park development but ended up being denied.

 

One community member continued working with MUD#248 on a playground initiative and in October 2020 was approved to make the presentation to the MUD#248 Board.  The Playground project was approved to move forward and get 3 bids for:

   * Tree removal and trimming/Sprinkler Shutoff Control Valve relocation

   * Playground equipment (1 centerpiece, 1 globe, 1 spinner, 2 benches, 1 trash bin)

   * Iron Wrought Fence installation around the perimeter with keyed gate

​

The MUD#248 Board approved the lower bids on all three and we proceeded in January 2020 when we were hit with a "LANDSCAPE RESTRICTION" on the Reserve F of the White Oak Springs original development PLAT back when the developer Gehan Homes originally developed the subdivision.  Since this time, our community member worked with members in the City of Houston Engineering/Planning, Harris County Commissioner Precinct # 3's office, and LJA Engineering to have this session of land Replatted to remove the "landscaping restriction" and allow for recreational space.  The FINAL RECORDATION of this effort is scheduled to be completed and "executed" by all parties in January - February 2022.  We are so grateful and thankful for this project and are very excited and anxious to see it completed.

​

    * Tree Removal of 2 pine trees - December 2021
