WFDD is excited to announce Project Barker, a flood risk reduction and community park project within Barker Reservoir that aims to increase flood storage on a cost-effective basis, while simultaneously creating an active park space and positive environmental outcomes through coastal prairie restoration, including aquatic features and wetlands. Project Barker, which will include an initial 3,000 acres of regional flood storage and 420 acres of new park space, will be located east of the Willow Fork Diversion Channel and south of Westheimer Parkway.
