| Mercer Arboretum is the Great Place to Visit
By Brandt Mannchen
Recently, I visited Mercer Arboretum, which is a Harris County Precinct 3 Park in North Harris County next to Cypress Creek.
There are two parts of Mercer: the Botanic Gardens, that are on the east side of Aldine-Westfield Road, and the wilder part which is on the west side of this road. |

| Jesse Jones County Park Brings Beach, Fishing, and Forest for Fun and Relaxation
By Brandt Mannchen Recently, I visited Jesse Jones County Park, in Harris County Commissioner Precinct 3.
I hadn’t been to this incredible park for at least 10 years, perhaps even more. Jesse Jones County Park, probably more than any other Harris County Park I have visited recently, is tied to water, namely Spring Creek. |
