Imagine a place within walking distance from home where you and your family can spend the day enjoying outdoor fitness activities. A perfect setting where you can plan family functions, or catch up with friends poolside, and even bring the family dog. In The Woodlands Hills, the award-winning, Founder’s Park and Activity Center is just that place.
When conceptualizing the 17-acre space, Howard Hughes created an idyllic space combining creativity and purpose. More than a park and a pool, Founder’s Park resembles a resort destination, offering the residents of The Woodlands Hills spaces to connect with neighbors and nature to revive, relax, and restore. Designed to preserve and enhance the natural landform and forest, Founder’s Park is surrounded by wooded hiking trails and a pedestrian bridge that crosses a natural stream running through the site.
A 10,600-square-foot Activity Center inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright architecture is divided into two parts forming a gateway to enter the park. One side is dedicated to gathering space and the other to the state-of-the-art fitness center.
GATHERING SPACE
Founder’s Park Activity Center also offers a community gathering place that’s perfect for entertaining. Expandable overhead bi-fold doors lift creating an extended outdoor entertainment space. A demonstration kitchen with a refrigerator and an easy-access window to serve people outside will make any event a successful one.
FITNESS CENTER
The fitness center is complete with an expansive list of equipment for the ultimate workout experience. Some of the features include: A Wellbeats™ virtual fitness program, treadmills, motion trainers, recumbent spin bikes, Precor® strength training machines, an indoor rowing machine, free-weight dumbbells, rubber kettlebells, resistant cables, and medicine balls. A children’s playroom provides a safe space for you to keep an eye on your little one while you work out. Large windows overlook the park providing picturesque views.
POOLSIDE
Everybody in the pool! Nothing expresses summertime fun as a splash in the pool. At Founder’s Park, a multi-faceted pool area includes the kinds of features you dream of having in your own backyard. Those seeking a more passive experience will enjoy a zero-entry, resort-style pool with lazy river. A dedicated fitness pool with lap lanes is also available. Sunning decks offer space to show off that new swimsuit while shade structures over portions of the pool and cabanas offer relief from the sun. For more active swimmers, deep end jumping boulders and a climbing wall will provide hours of fun. Nearby the pool area is a nature-inspired playground complete with a spray ground.
DOG PARK
As mentioned earlier, a charming pedestrian bridge set over a beautiful natural stream connects residents to the Lucy and Gus Dauzat Dog Park. At one-acre, the gated park offers a designated outdoor space for dogs to romp and run among towering trees and lush landscapes.Smaller dogs enjoy a separate gated space dedicated just for their size. Near the dog park are tennis courts, set in a shaded area. Residents can access wooded trails for hiking and biking throughout the community.
Enriching the sense of community, Founder’s Park in The Woodlands Hills is the perfect destination to enjoy days filled with health and wellness activities or to simply pick up the latest novel to sit poolside relaxing and unwinding.
