Township Receives Accolade

The Woodlands Township has secured the #1 rank for Texas! PeopleForBikes’ City Ratings measures the quality of a community's bike network. Factors influencing rankings include accessibility to homes, jobs, core services (such as hospitals and grocery stores), retail, transit and recreational amenities. As The Woodlands is envisioned to be a "complete" community, the Township's vast pathway network provides remarkable connectivity, allowing our residents to maintain a high-quality, dynamic lifestyle. 

Celebrate at Township Events

The Woodlands Township Parks and Recreation Department plans a variety of community events throughout the year. July is a busy month with our beloved Red, Hot and Blue festivities, pool events, free concerts and more.

UPCOMING EVENTS

 As the Fourth of July nears, everyone is looking forward to celebrating America. The Township reminds residents that home fireworks are prohibited in The Woodlands. Living in a natural forest, home fireworks can pose a real hazard to homes and green spaces. Let's give our heroes of The Woodlands Fire Department a break and skip the risk of fires.

Instead, join the Township and your neighbors at the Fireworks Extravaganza, part of Red, Hot & Blue. Fireworks displays will take place in four locations! Event-goers and spectators are encouraged to experience both the sights and sounds by tuning in to KSTAR Country 99.7 FM to broadcast the soundtrack live.

Be a good neighbor this Independence Day and celebrate with your community!
