Public Parks in the Village of Creekside Park

Creekside Park opened in October 2007, the newest of the eight villages in The Woodlands and the only one in Harris County. The Township lists 28 parks in the village, plus Timarron Lake Park on its park map. Most are small neighborhood ponds with fishing and benches, while Rob Fleming Park, Wendtwoods Park, Tupelo Park and Timarron Park add playgrounds, courts and pavilions. Township parks are open from dawn to dusk, and lighted courts and fields stay open until 11 p.m.; the rest of the rules are on our Park Types & Rules page. Each card lists the park’s Township class and size.

Amenity counts come from The Woodlands Township’s public GIS map. An item that isn’t listed may still be there, and the map can lag behind new installs and removals.
