Woodlands & Spring

The Woodlands is a sprawling forested suburb 30 minutes north of Houston. Yeah we get it. Suburbs get the rap for being boring islands of upper-class privilege without distinction, culture or diversity. You think of strip malls, chain restaurants and manicured lawns. Does the The Woodlands have these? Yes. But a huge influx of entrepreneurs and creatives are changing the landscape making it more eclectic and interesting. The Woodlands is truly a town built within the woods. It has over 160 miles of trails and greenbelts and over 111 parks. Most businesses can’t be seen directly from the street but rather peek out behind stands of trees, but if you look harder there are wonderful things to find. Some of the places we’ve included are considered to be in neighboring Spring but this is Texas and neighbors here borrow things all the time.

The Riva Row Park is a sleek and architecturally beautiful park in the heart of the Waterway Park system. The Park also cradles the Riva Row Boathouse where you can rent kayaks and canoes and float down the extensive waterway. This series of winding canals connects this park with Waterway Square and the Northshore. The park also encompasses Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillon and Pavillon Park where you can picnic, play, relax and perhaps if your lucky, overhear all the bands playing the pavilion.
