The Village of Panther Creek was opened in 1976, and was the second neighborhood created in The Woodlands. Panther creek is located along the west shore of Lake Woodlands and to the east of Gosling Road. A quick drive around Panther Creek will provide a glimpse at the history of The Woodlands, as well as the character that has bloomed over time.
Recreation
Panther Creek is home to thirteen parks with various amenities. There are two parks with public pools in Panther Creek: Ridgewood and Creekwood Park. The pool at Ridgewood Park is the “Swan” Pool and hosts a diving board to keep things interesting on the “adult” side. Ridgewood Park also features a basketball court, multi-purpose field, two lighted tennis courts, and covered pavilion with electrical hook-ups along with picnic tables, BBQ pits, and a play area for the kids. Creekwood Park features a “wheel friendly” area for the kids for skateboarding/BMX fun, lighted basketball, tennis courts, and multi-purpose field, a playground, picnic tables and BBQ pits to complete the park. The pool at Creekwood features the suitably named “Panther” slide on the kiddie side and a slide/diving board on the “adult” side.
In addition to the pools, Panther Creek is also the host of a stage at Northshore Park, which features the seasonal “Concert in the Park” series, and is free to everyone. There are also kayak launch points at Northshore, Southshore, and The Cove parks as well as wheel-friendly areas in both Creekwood and Ridgewood parks.
Lake Woodlands provides ample outdoor recreational opportunities on its own, but also offers some of the most scenic views in The Woodlands to kick back, relax, and enjoy.
