The Lake House at Cinco Ranch

The 76-acre Spring Green Recreation Center, features a scenic 30-acre lake surrounded by parks, greenbelts and wetland ledges. A water park with a resort-style swimming pool, 2 water slides and a children's spray park offers refreshing fun for every member of the family, and a Children's Garden invites the youngest ones to clamber over boulders and fallen timbers, explore a dry stream bed, and witness the cycle of life in a butterfly garden.

At the heart of this recreation complex is the 6000 sqft Lake House, featuring architecture inspired by historic Texas train depots. The Lake house has spacious indoor and outdoor gathering areas for up to 100, and residents can reserve this facility for meetings and special events. One of the best features is it is green and LEED certified. Some of the green features include a rainwater cistern that can collect up to 5,000 gallons of water to provide about 5 weeks of irrigation for the surrounding park area. There's the bioswales that collect and filter the rainwater runoff before feeding into the 37 acre lake and the lake is surrounded by wetland edges to provide habitat for wildlife and an educational experience for the residences. The Lake House uses saline water at its water park and swimming pool complex to eliminate the use of harsh chemicals.
