Have a first look at Pine Cove Park!

Pine Cove Park is open and you’ll love it!! We couldn’t find an address on this place, but I’ve included a map at the bottom of this post along with a few locating tips. 

I’ve been anxiously waiting for over a year for the fence around this new park to come down, and finally – as of January 31, 2021, there’s no fence and the park it’s open! Harris County has made such wonderful use of this gem of a space located in the Augusta Pines area only a couple of minutes south of The Woodlands.
