Programs and activities
Buffalo Bayou East Sector Implementation - Buffalo Bayou Partnership (BBP) is developing green-space and trails along the east sector of Buffalo Bayou - the area from McKee Street east to the Port of Houston Turning Basin.
Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern - BBP restored and repurposed this underground city water reservoir and opened it to the public in 2016. In addition to tours highlighting the history and architecture of this unique industrial site, BBP presents periodic art installations in the space.
Clean & Green Program - Removing trash and debris is central to BBP's mission of helping to restore Buffalo Bayou to an ecologically functional system and providing an enhanced amenity for the mental and physical benefit of Houstonians and visitors. The program, funded by the Harris County Flood Control District and Port of Houston, removes floatables from the water and along the banks of the bayou.
Buffalo Bayou Partnership Programming - BBP offers a wide range of recreational and cultural activities, including: - Buffalo Bayou Partnership Regatta: Annual 15-mile canoe and kayak race on Buffalo Bayou from Voss Road to Allen's Landing in Downtown Houston, held annually in March. - Kids Day: A free event filled with family fun, educational activities, music, food, park performers, and bayou boat rides, held annually in October. - Pontoon Boat Rides: Offered year-round and include bat tours, history tours, and private charters. - Walking Tours: Offered year-round and include public art tour
Hike and Bike Trails - A top priority of Buffalo Bayou Partnership is to build a continuous system of trails on the north and south banks of Buffalo Bayou from Shepherd Drive to the Turning Basin. This will give Houstonians and visitors approximately 20 miles of trails to run, walk and bike along the waterway. To accommodate residents and visitors who want to enjoy a walk or jog along the Shepherd Drive to Sabine Street stretch of the bayou, BBP added asphalt footpaths closer to the waterway.
