July 27, 2026: Post Oak Preserve is closed through October 28, 2026, for reconstruction of the paved trail. At this time, the concrete has been poured and the remaining work consists of smaller finishing tasks and required concrete strength testing. We’re pleased to share that the project is currently ahead of schedule, with reopening anticipated before the original October 28 date. As soon as we receive the ‘go-ahead’ to reopen the preserve, we’ll share updates across all our communication channels.
