Addicks dam
Build in response to devastating floods that occurred in Houston in 1929 and 1935
to prevent the loss of life and property and provide flood damage reduction along Buffalo Bayou downstream of the reservoirs and through the center of the City of Houston. It was finished in 1945.
Some land is available through lease agreements with local municipalities for the public’s enjoyment. Addicks and Barker Reservoirs are home to numerous municipal parks and hike/bike trails. It is a complex, heavily wooded park blessed with a wealth of recreational facilities such as a 54-hole golf course, tennis courts, soccer, rugby, and ball fields, and picnicking areas.
