As summer arrives, Baytown’s Parks and Recreation Department continues its work to improve, maintain, and expand access to safe and beautiful outdoor spaces across the city. Here is a look at recent progress and community initiatives from parks around Baytown this past Spring.

Tabbs Bay Disc Golf

The new Tabbs Bay Disc Golf Course is officially open to the public. This new facility features an 18-hole course and a state-of-the-art practice facility with 11 practice baskets, offering recreational and competitive opportunities for players of all skill levels.

The facility is located at 1530 Evergreen Drive and is open daily from sunrise to sunset. Additional enhancements, including seating and shaded areas at the practice facility, are in progress.

Arbor Day Tree Giveaway and Park Plantings

Baytown’s annual Arbor Day Tree Giveaway distributed more than 1,500 native trees to residents across the community. Volunteers and staff were on hand to help carry trees to vehicles, making the event accessible for all.

In addition to the giveaway, native trees are also being planted in local parks and at the Baytown Nature Center. These trees provide long-term benefits to wildlife, the environment, and the community.

Eddie Huron Park Mulch Replacement

This spring, volunteers assisted with routine maintenance at Eddie Huron Park by replacing mulch around the playground. 

This update was part of ongoing efforts to ensure all park playgrounds are well-maintained and clean.

New Sculptures in the Downtown Arts District

The Baytown Sculpture Trail has welcomed new artwork in the Downtown Arts District. Parks crews worked to prepare the site and assist with installation of these vibrant pieces.

The trail is free to visit and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite sculpture as part of the ACE District’s 2025 People’s Choice Award.

New Art at Newcastle Park

Newcastle Park has received a colorful new feature with the installation of a decorative sign spelling the park’s name. The addition of this sign, along with a new entry gate and artwork, adds even more visual interest to this neighborhood park and its vibrant playground.

Ongoing Maintenance at Parks Across Baytown

Baytown’s Parks and Recreation teams continue to maintain over 50 parks across the city. From seasonal landscaping to facility upkeep, these daily efforts ensure safe, accessible, and welcoming spaces. Recent projects include replacing damaged boards at the bird overlook at the Baytown Nature Center.
