THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- The Woodlands Township dedicated its newest park, Wendtwoods Park, on Saturday, June 15, 2013, with residents of The Woodlands. The 12-acre village-wide park, which also includes a pool, is located at 8950 Creekside Green Drive in the Village of Creekside Park. Wendtwoods Park was jointly funded by The Woodlands Development Company (TWDC) and The Woodlands Township. It is owned and will be maintained by The Woodlands Township.

Wendtwoods Park is the 128th park in The Woodlands. The park’s amenities include a 40' x 40' Craftsman-style pavilion, a scenic pedestrian bridge that connects the pool to the pavilion over a lake for fishing. The park also features separate playgrounds for younger and older children, picnic tables, barbecue pits, two lighted tennis courts, a lighted sports field, a lighted basketball court, restrooms and 50 parking spaces, and a landscape design based on lakeside animal and plant life, with images and sculptures of frogs and native grasses strategically placed throughout the park.

Wendtwoods Pool is the 14th community pool and features a zero-depth entry, a current channel, a playscape in the pool with a dump bucket, a lily pad balancing water walk, two lap lanes and plenty of shade. The park is named after Jim Wendt, long-time parks planner for The Woodlands.
