What parents say
"One of our favorite parks in the Woodlands. Kid friendly, well maintained and plenty to do. Friendly but non aggressive ducks and geese. Good structures for kids of all ages to climb. Best of all a magnificent view of the water."

"Best park I’ve been to! Plenty of free space to take a stroll, you can fish, there’s a nice playground for the kiddos, and the ducks are just so cute!"

"Longtime residents stated that Lake Woodlands is known for Bass, Catfish, Crappie and Perch, just need to figure out or know what type of bait or fishing lure to use. Or which spot you favor over the Inlets, Panther Creek (runs under Research bridge) or Spillway near Woodlands Parkway. Friendly reminder whenever you're out boating/kayaking don't throw your trash (beer/coke/water bottles/cans in the water)! Remember to leave no trace while enjoying a day on the water with family and friends 😊. Building a venue of some sort across the way from the park area and rowing club. The Woodlands Town"
