Market Street announced today that a Little Free Library is now on-property near the splash pad, and children and adults are welcome to visit and check out a book free of charge.

Little Free Library often collaborates with community partners, schools, public libraries, civic organizations, businesses, and other groups to bring the concept to their communities. The new Market Street location is no exception, having been spearheaded by local Boy Scout Jacob Lyon. 

“We are privileged to be able to support the community we serve,” said Market Street Marketing Director Noemi Gonzalez.  “With the addition of a Little Free Library at Market Street, adults and children alike can discover the joys of reading.” 

The mission of Little Free Library is to be a catalyst for building community, inspiring readers, and expanding book access for all through a global network of volunteer-led Little Free Libraries.

Celebrate the music of classic rock legends Queen in an exhilarating musical tribute sponsored by Huntsman. The Houston Symphony will return to The Pavilion Main Stage Thursday, September 30, for an evening featuring a variety of Queen classics including We Will Rock You, Bohemian Rhapsody and Somebody to Love. Mezzanine and lawn seating are free. The performance will begin at 8 p.m. and gates open at 7 p.m. Reserved orchestra seating tickets are $20 and will go on sale, Wednesday, September 1, 2021.

Bridging the gap between rock n’ roll and classical music, conductor/arranger Brent Havens takes the podium to present Windborne's ultimate rock show, The Music of Queen, a program he scored to extend the listening experience of Queen's exceptional tunes.  Performed by an orchestra and amplified with a full rock band and vocals, Havens and his ensemble capture Queen's distinct sound while presenting some familiar and lots of new musical colors. High energy, fun music, and the familiarity of the songs make the show a fun one both to play and to see.

Families are also encouraged to enhance their performing arts experience with Mini Maestros, a free and exciting program that makes the arts both fun and accessible for kids of all ages. Incentives including entries for fun raffle prizes, performing arts event tickets and more will be offered throughout the season to encourage Maestros to continue their Pavilion arts journey! Families can register their children online at www.woodlandscenter.org/mini-maestros.

The Howard Hughes Corporation® has recently marked the official grand opening of Creekside Park® The Grove, the newest multifamily residential community in Creekside Park Village Center in The Woodlands®.

Creekside Park The Grove is the second multifamily development in the Village of Creekside Park and builds on the success of the award-winning Creekside Park The Residences, which has also been developed by The Howard Hughes Corporation.

Featuring an urban design with Craftsman-style architecture, Creekside Park The Grove is a 360-unit luxury community comprising six, four-story buildings, offering one-, two- and three-bedroom residences ranging from approximately 680 to 1,490 square feet. Ground-level apartments include private, fenced yards.


“After much anticipation, we are excited to officially launch the opening of Creekside Park The Grove, our newest multifamily community in The Woodlands,” said Crystal Bledsoe, National Multifamily Asset Manager for Howard Hughes. “We welcome our newest residents to a stylish and modern living community that offers the latest in technology and health and wellness amenities—all part of the natural, pedestrian-friendly environment of Creekside Park, with convenient access to dining, shopping and entertainment.”

With health and wellness remaining a top priority for development, numerous innovative technologies have been implemented throughout the project. The clubhouse and fitness areas feature touchless entry doors and HVAC upgrades to the common areas include ionization devices to purify the air.

The attractive modern features of each unit include nine-foot ceilings, simulated wood flooring, quartz countertops, keyless entry door, stainless appliances, walk-in closets, smart thermostats and a washer and dryer in every home. Private attached garages are available in all buildings, as well as ample covered parking.

The clubhouse, which reflects a modern take on a Texas “dog trot” structure with a fireside back porch, boasts an extra-large fitness center including a fitness room for yoga, spin and barre activities. Amenities include a resort-style swimming pool with a cabana, wet bar, and fireplace.  Creekside Park The Grove also offers a dog park, an outdoor pool table and game area, and several grilling areas for outdoor dining. The creation of ample co-working spaces—both inside the residential buildings and within the outdoor amenity areas, is a significant focus of the community, with a solar powered co-working area reflecting a commitment to sustainable design.


Amenities that enhance community connectivity  include a coffee bar and lounge featuring a double-sided fireplace and an outdoor fire pit with relaxing lounge seating.

The close proximity of Lake Paloma provides convenient outdoor recreation and jogging paths. Creekside Park The Grove is also conveniently located near Timber Creek Elementary, Creekside Park Junior High School, Lone Star College – Creekside Center and early educational facilities.

Creekside Park The Grove is located at the entrance of Creekside Park Village Center at 8440 Creekside Green Drive, at the northeast intersection of Creekside Green Drive and Kuykendahl Road.
