Harris County Precinct 3 Commissioner Tom Ramsey used his official Facebook page to confirm a major new amenity for Tomball residents: an 18,000‑square‑foot community center scheduled to open in the summer of 2028.
Location and size
The proposed center will sit adjacent to Samuel Matthews Park, providing easy access to outdoor recreation while expanding indoor space for a variety of programs. At 18,000 square feet, it will be the precinct’s tenth community‑center project, reflecting the administration’s ongoing commitment to family‑friendly facilities across the county.
Planned amenities
According to the announcement, the center will feature multiple activity rooms, flexible event spaces, classrooms for educational programs, ample parking and additional amenities designed to serve families, seniors and youth alike. The layout is intended to accommodate everything from after‑school tutoring to community gatherings and fitness classes.
Why the project matters
Commissioner Ramsey highlighted that the new center aligns with the precinct’s broader strategy to strengthen neighborhoods by providing safe, accessible spaces where families can gather, learn and grow. By situating the facility next to an existing park, the precinct aims to create a cohesive hub for recreation and community life.
Timeline
Construction is slated to begin after final design approvals later this year, with a target opening in the summer of 2028. The precinct plans to keep residents informed through regular updates on its website and social‑media channels.
Community response
Local leaders and residents have expressed enthusiasm for the project, noting the need for additional indoor venues that support youth programs, senior activities and neighborhood events. The center is expected to complement existing services in Tomball and surrounding areas, reinforcing the precinct’s focus on traditional family values and community cohesion.
Commissioner Ramsey concluded by thanking the community for its continued support and encouraged residents to stay engaged as the project moves forward.
