Just read what they are putting in by the Recycling Center on Magnolia...It will be the Delores Fenwick Nature Center. It is going to have an open air Pavillion, demonstration gardens, a tree farm and a lot more stuff.
 
-----------------------------------------
 
Pearland City Council recently approved a $2.5 million contract for construction of the Delores Fenwick Nature Center, including an appropriation of $480,000 from the Park Development Fund. The project will provide a hands-on setting for environmental education and training programs and an event venue for related community activities. The project provides an opportunity to showcase the concept of utilizing one site as a multi-purpose venue for, recreation, as well as achieving environmental objectives including recycling, storm and wastewater treatment, drainage management and community education.
 
The new facility will be located at 5750 Magnolia Street in the John Hargrove Environmental Center (JHEC) complex, which currently houses the Stella Roberts Recycling Center, a water treatment plant and a recently completed trail system. The facility will be located next door to the Stella Roberts Recycling managed by Keep Pearland Beautiful. Current designs include a nature center building including an open-air pavilion, environmental educational displays, demonstration gardens, a tree farm, interpretive exhibits, restrooms, a classroom laboratory, a teaching platform and staff offices.
 
Another project, scheduled to begin in the coming years will expand the JHEC Trail to include a boardwalk over the East pond with an observation deck, paddle craft launch areas, picnic tables, benches, trash receptacles, and interpretive signage.

The path around the ponds is a great place for me to walk my dog when it's cool outside so I'm happy to read they're adding all this to the grounds. Thanks for the info!

I've been keeping an eye on Independence Park. They finally started some real work this week and I hope they add on to the walking path in the trees by connecting it via bridge. It's a nice place too.

There's two bald eagles that apparently perch atop one of the trees on church grounds located adjacent to the recycling center/walking path. A man who was walking the path stopped and showed me where they were. He didn't have any idea where their nest is but I'd like to see it.
 
Maybe the recycling center employees know or has anyone here found it (their nest)?
(I edited my wording for clarity)

Thanks for the info! I was thinking of stopping in before we walk but this week might become hectic. Might just call instead.

That would be great! Whenever we try to fish or just walk around out there, the fire ants have always been awful. A trail would really help.
