LEAGUE CITY, Texas — At the end of North Kansas Avenue, across from Fairview Cemetery, lies a stretch of Clear Creek that two families gave to League City more than three decades ago. On Saturday, November 7, volunteers will spend the morning picking up litter there, on the same ground where the city plans to build a trail to Heritage Park.
The 28-acre property takes its name from the Kilgore and Davis families, who dedicated the land to the city in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It remains undeveloped. The city chose the site for this year’s Fall Sweep, a cleanup it organizes with the Keep League City Beautiful Committee.
A morning on the creek
The cleanup runs from 8 to 11 a.m. Volunteers signed up for one of two 90-minute shifts, with the second starting at 9:30. The city will supply the cleanup gear, and students can earn volunteer hours. For local geocachers, the morning also counts toward Cache In, Trash Out, a program that lets participants log a cleanup in the Geocaching app.
The online signup form showed registration closed on Thursday, November 5. The city asks registered volunteers to complete its waiver before arriving. A parent or legal guardian must sign for anyone under 18. Complete the city’s volunteer waiver.
A future route from Heritage Park
The city expects construction to begin in fall 2027 on the first 2,615 feet of trail, about half a mile. Plans call for an eight-foot-wide path along North Kansas Avenue that would connect to Heritage Park.
A second phase, tentatively scheduled for 2028, would take walkers closer to the water. That portion calls for another 1,400 feet of trail, including boardwalks and two places to stop and watch wildlife along Clear Creek. Residents can see the proposed route and sign up for updates on the city’s Kilgore-Davis project page.
Reporting sources include League City’s Fall Sweep announcement, the volunteer instructions, the event registration form and City Council’s trail project record.
