Brazos Bluff was completed in 2020.

As an inaugural project from the 15 Projects for our 15th anniversary, Brazos Bluff added a much-needed stopping point along the Trail for people to take a quick stretch, meet for a lunch picnic, contemplate, or more.

The parkland adjacent to the Four Seasons was steeply sloped, causing significant erosion of the Trail and the riparian edge when it rained. Designed by Pharis Design, this project addresses the stormwater that flows across this site in an aesthetically pleasing and ecologically sensitive manner that prevents further erosion of the Trail and the lake edge. It includes a deck along the Trail for users to gather or rest and protects the sensitive roots of the existing shade trees.
