This release comes from The Woodlands Township:

The Southwest Region of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recently honored The Woodlands Township, The Woodlands Development Company and Clark Condon Associates with an award at the Texas Recreation and Park Society annual conference.

The Outstanding Park/Facility Design Award recognizes a park or facility project that displays a high degree of professional design quality. The Rob Fleming Aquatic Center, located in the Village of Creekside Park, was an initiative of The Woodlands Development Company and designed by Clark Condon and Associates. It opened to the public in 2008.

“The Park Planning Team that consists of members of The Woodlands Development Company and staff of The Woodlands Township’s Parks and Recreation Department reviewed all details of this facility which ranged from design concepts to operational plans,” said Parks and Recreation Director Chris Nunes. “This type of effort, I believe, lead this facility to receive this award.”

“We had high expectations of what the Rob Fleming Aquatic Center should be: from the initial vision and the incredible site, through programming, design, and construction,” said Joel Deretchin, Vice President of Public Affairs for The Woodlands Development Company. “This collaborative effort resulted in an incredible facility and user experience. The kid fun-o-meter is off the charts! This is a great asset not only to the residents of the Village of Creekside Park, but to the entire Woodlands community.”

“Our firm is honored to receive the design recognition from NRPA’s Southwest Region,” said Shelia Condon, CEO of Clark Condon Associates. “When we first saw the potential site, we knew it could be a landmark park for The Woodlands.”

Other companies that helped the Rob Fleming Aquatic Center become an award-winning facility include MCCM Architects, Spaw Glass and Water Technology, Inc.
