3,000 Acres of Dedicated Open Space
Before the first shovel of dirt was moved, Bridgeland’s land planners conducted an extensive environmental study to find how best to protect, preserve and restore the natural environment within the community’s boundaries. The result is dramatic. Our developers chose to devote 3,000 acres to open space, providing a forever place where both residents and wildlife will thrive together for generations to come.
900 Acres of Lakes & Waterways
A peaceful energy flows throughout Bridgeland’s first 500 acres of lakes and waterways, ideal for outdoor activities and quiet reflection. An additional 400 acres will be added in the future. Into fishing, bird watching or small boating? Cast a line into the lakes stocked for catch-and-release fishing. Focus your binoculars on more than 140 species of migratory birds feeding or gliding across the lakes. Become one with your kayak, canoe or paddleboat. Make any activity a solo excursion or a family affair.

Not surprisingly, Bridgeland is the first community in Houston to embrace the “purple pipe” system from the onset of development. This system uses recycled water from community lakes to irrigate all common areas in a sustainable way, saving a significant amount of water and helping the community to run more cost-effectively. Rain gardens are a prominent feature used in Parkland Square for the filtering of rain water run-off, and will continue to be
