Like other community centers, it offers recreational classes and educational opportunities for youth, adults and seniors. There will also be space for meetings for homeowners, various groups and non-profit organizations. A large adjacent park complex is still a work-in-progress and will eventually feature walking trails, outdoor exercise equipment, playground equipment and other amenities.
For more information on services, classes and meeting space at the community center, contact Harris County precinct 3.
In addition, Commissioner Radack has moved on to another project for the Cypress area – the development of historic Juergen Hall into the eighth Precinct Three community center.
The old dance hall is located in Cypress Top Historic Park, 26026 Hempstead Road. It became part of Precinct Three’s family of parks in November 2008, when the larger park was dedicated. The park contains several carefully maintained older buildings cared for by the precinct and local historians.
The buildings were once part of the business district in the old railroad town of Cypress, originally known as Cypress Top and established in the 1850s. As a railroad town, Cypress never really took off, but the small community remained vibrant. Residents remained tied to their roots and the old dance hall is part of the story of the old Texas town.
Precinct Three crews are currently making improvements and repairs to Juergen's Hall community center so it can function as a Harris County community center and, though not as large as newer facilities, be able to handle classes, activities and meetings. An announcement about an opening date for the community center will be coming soon.
