Deer Park Building Two Pavilions In Dow Park

DEER PARK, TX -- The City of Deer Park is already getting a head start on spring with the construction of two pavilions inside the the city's largest community park.

The pavilions, which are planned for Dow Park, will be used to host community activities and events, such as outdoor movie screenings during the summer months and live musical performances.

According to a Houston Chronicle report, the pavilions will be separated by open space, with a larger one on the west side and a smaller pavilion on the east side of the park.

However, to make room for the smaller pavilion, the city plans to tear down an existing pavilion.

In May 2015, city voters approved a half-cent sales tax to fund parks and recreation projects, as well as other city projects.

Dow Park, one of 21 parks in the city, is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Dow Park is a 40 acre park that includes a community pool, a rose garden, splash park, playground
structures, tennis and volleyball courts, pet stations, sports fields, a skate park and a walking trail.
