A new, 7,000-square-foot boathouse facility opened Thursday on the waterfront of Lake Woodlands in Northshore Park.
The Woodforest Bank Boat House was built to serve as a public boat storage facility for residents of The Woodlands and as a permanent facility for rowing clubs. Members of
The Rowing Club of The Woodlands and
Parati Competitive Rowing will both be able to use the new space.
Funding for more than 75 percent of the cost to build the $650,000 facility came from Woodforest National Bank. Additionally, through a public-private partnership, The Woodlands Township provided the land and the rowing clubs raised the money privately to build the facility.
“Rowing embodies the values of hard work, discipline and teamwork,” Woodforest National Bank CEO Cathy Nash said. “By partnering with The Woodlands Township, Woodforest National Bank is honored to ensure this important and growing sport has the opportunity to thrive within our community with this new, permanent facility.”
