Humble SportsPlex is not a typical sports venue. It has athletic fields, but they are referred to as pitches and paddocks, depending on the sport being played. It has fairways and greens, but one would be hard pressed to find any golf balls soaring through the air.

Instead, when somebody yells “fore,” patrons need to be on the lookout for flying discs and soccer balls.

Humble SportsPlex is home to a number of sporting options, including two foot-golf courses, one disc-golf course, two athletic fields that can be leased for various sports and a fishing pond.

Feedback wanted—

With a 240-acre industrial park breaking ground last week at Rocky Road and the Grand Parkway in southern Tomball, we are looking to hear from nearby residents and business owners about what an industrial park of this size means for the area, such as any traffic concerns, spurring more commercial growth, and new job opportunities.

What benefits do you think this project will provide the local workforce and economy? What are you concerned about as this Hwy. 249/Grand Parkway/Boudreaux Road area begins seeing more development?

If you're interested in sharing your comments for potential publication, please comment below and include your full name and what part of Tomball you reside in, or reach out to editor Anna Lotz at [email protected] or 346-206-7098.

Thank you!
