Township updates: Parks & Recreation renovation plan, new training center and Fire Station 5 progress
Summary
Staff presented plans for a Parks & Recreation facility expansion and renovation, announced completion of an emergency training center, and showed progress photos for Fire Station 5; the parks project is expected to add about 4,500 square feet and 42 parking spaces and go to bid in October.
The Woodlands Township received updates July 17 on several facility projects: a Parks & Recreation campus renovation, completion of an emergency training center, and construction progress at Fire Station 5.
Parks & Recreation staff presented schematic plans for a campus renovation that would add approximately 4,500 square feet, 42 parking spaces, 12 cubicle workspaces, a nursing/mothers room, expanded conference/break areas and additional storage and restrooms. Staff said site constraints (drainage ditches and forest buffers) limit expansion options; they plan to release construction documents, submit permitting to Montgomery County and the fire marshal, advertise for bids in October and begin construction around Jan. 1 if bids proceed on schedule.
Fire Department staff reported the emergency training center was completed June 1 and listed new amenities — expanded shower and locker facilities, a full dining room and kitchen and an enlarged workout room — and invited board members to visit. Fire Station 5 construction is progressing; staff showed recent photos and reported an expected completion date in January. Town Hall staff said they plan a mid‑August carpet and paint refresh and will request lighting upgrades in next year’s budget.
Directors approved receiving the facility updates; staff will return with final bid packages and budget requests as projects move from design to construction.
