Amenity construction within the Cypress community of Bridgeland continues this summer, as more pedestrian bridges are installed.

The bridges – which connect neighborhoods, parks, trails and other green spaces – are of varying sizes, with a typical span of 150-195 feet. Construction materials complement their surroundings, with a weathered steel frame and a tropical hardwood deck. Currently, five pedestrian bridges have been installed in the community, with many more to come. In June, developers installed a pedestrian bridge to connect two communities in Bridgeland, The Cove and The Shores. Complete bridge installation takes approximately 18 days. There will be dozens of bridges when total development is complete.

The Bridgeland community not only provides the natural environment to enjoy a bevy of outdoor activities, it is also providing the equipment, free for resident use.

Residents can enjoy non-motorized boating, with paddleboats, kayaks, canoes and even sailboats available for use on Lake Bridgeland. Canoes and kayaks will also soon be available at Oak Meadow Park, along with bikes, fishing equipment and disc golf supplies. All equipment may be checked out — at no charge — by residents of the community.

“With large lakes, parks, trails and a disc golf course, Bridgeland residents have so many ways to enjoy the outdoors,” said Elizabeth Hart, the community’s on-site activities director. “By providing free equipment, we’re offering residents an opportunity to try out new sports, like sailing or disc golf, without having to invest in the equipment.”
