This is the main community pool for the subdivision of Telfair. Located next to the Central Hall…read moreand the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land at University Blvd and New Territory Blvd. Since this is a community pool, you would need a pool tag to get in. The pool tag is essentially a key fob (2 per household) that raises the parking arms leading to the parking lot for the pool and entering the pool. Enter the pool, sign in on the tablet, find an empty spot, and have fun! For you long time Telfair residents who have just thought about checking out the pool for the first time in almost 12 years, check your key fobs (if you ever applied for one), if they are the white ones, you need to get them changed at the Telfair Central Hall during office hours. This pool is fairly large with children's play and kiddie pool areas that have water sprouts and geysers for kids to get in and cool off. There is also a slightly deeper area for older kids to enjoy the heightened buoyancy deeper water offers. Off to the side, there are some lap pool areas offering more serious swimmers to do their laps. Perhaps the main attraction is none other than the towering, multi-story water slide that... If it is open, it has water shooting out of it. If you have gone on a cruise ship and seen those large water slides on the top deck of the ships and are kicking yourselves of not being able to work up the nerve to try it? Now is your chance to do it, and you don't have to pay to use (that is, additional, except for being a resident). As with all large water slides sending people down the chute with gravity's assistance, please remove all loose articles (like jewelry, glasses, etc.) before going on the slides. Because if they fly off, who knows if you will ever find them (whole) again. There are restrooms in the facility and lifeguards on duty when the pool is open. One thing I do wish that it has are shower stalls inside to allow residents more convenience and privacy to change out of their wet swimwear before getting into their cars. A few hand dryers won't hurt either, but then again, people will start asking about lockers and benches like the Aquatic Center, good ol' Aquatic Center. For a community pool, it is still a very good one. The other community pool closer to our house doesn't open as early as this one and certainly isn't as big. So we will be coming here more often. The real challenge now is to get our little 2 year old to start liking the water.

They need to practice together so that they can better understand other team members game". These are my 11 years words when he was totally frustrated just after 2 games. Yes, there is a practice (two teams together) once a week in which they are taught a bunch of exercises/ drills. After that practice, 2 teams can play a short friendly game, but no one cares to build the team. So, a few of the kids lost interest and stop coming for practice and after few weeks they stopped coming for games altogether! I went to talk with administrative staff over there and I asked about lots of kids are missing in practice and I was told that they can not force them to come which I understand. In return, I asked them how do they build teams? The answer was we focus on the core, not the team!! You can try building your team if you volunteer as a team coach. After a little debate, he agreed with me and told me that he will send a GroupMe message which was never sent out. When I see their games, it feels like a bunch of strangers got together and taking a ride towards downtown. They all want to go there but all are busy doing their own things. They all are individually great players but as a team, they are equally bad. So in conclusion If your kid has a bunch of friends playing the same sport and all can go in as one team then it is a great place to get a tremendous confidence boost because on the other side there won't be any team but a bunch of kids trying to dribble and pass with some blind trust that something will happen. To the management: 1. Seems like fundamentals of team sports are lacking from administrative staff on the front desk. Maybe they are doing an amazing job for admin work but not sure if parents have an issue they are capable of understanding or not 2. We did multiple seasons at I9, One sports nation, YMCA. They don't have an amazing facility as you do but they were able to build teams and teach how to compete, so maybe partnering up with them might be a good change 3. Parents spend money and time to see and enjoy their kids play and compete. Which was the case in the other sports camps which I mentioned earlier. My kid's teams lost 2 seasons and won 3 championship games but we enjoyed all 5 seasons. So please have that respect instead of only building core give them something better - strategy 4. If you want to see an amazing league check out Lamar Little League(baseball) down the road on George Park. They have brought the true spirit of the game and generations are playing there, our kid's coach used to play in LLL in his childhood 5. Check the attrition rate in your teams and have some proactive approach that why kids/parents are abandoning half-season!!

Location is a bit obscure. Using navigation it shouldn't be an issue to find it, but it is a bit of…read morea ways off Highway 6 or any other major roadway. It is located to some baseball fields so sometimes the area will have lots of cars parked on the street during the games. The location has a private parking lot so it's never an issue to find an open spot. Going in the interior is pretty nice and clean for the most part. The only part that I found wasn't as clean was the bathroom. Honestly, its a gym, I didn't expect to much from that. The gym area is split into two basketball courts (full court-sized). The facility changes the layout of the gym to fit the different activities that people will take part in onsite. I've gone to play table tennis and basketball so I can offer insights on what takes place during those two sports. 1. Table Tennis: There are 5 tables and generally will all be in use. However, most of the time there wouldn't be too much of a wait time if at all. Generally people will just play doubles if there are too many people. Plus, people come and go, so it's not a big issue. 2. Basketball- When both courts are in use. They split it into two different sides. One side will have a full-court game going on. The other will have 3 baskets down and can potentially have three cramped half-court games going on. During these times the place is PACKED. This is especially so during holidays when lots of the schools are out on holiday. Bonus: I would definitely recommend checking the activity schedule before you go. It wouldn't be fun to show up expecting to play something when it's something else set up in the gym. They offer physical calendars on-site or you can just look it up on their website. Membership fees for individuals who are from Sugar Land is $10 for the whole year! Pretty amazing. I believe for those who are not from SL, it is currently $40 for the whole year which isn't a bad deal either honestly.

It is low-key, easy to miss, neighborhood gathering spot that is perfect for groups, families, and solo swimmers. Looking for a dip from the heat. Folks who are part of the community will be able to enter without charge. Everyone else pays $5. Parking is available on site but is limited. Once inside there is plenty of seating to accommodate different groups and sizes. Like most community pools, there are teenage lifeguards who are very attentive and provide breaks throughout the sessions to keep the pool behavior in check. I appreciate that they're doing a solid job keeping an eye on things while still helping cultivate a laid-back atmosphere. The water is clean and there are lots of youngins running around. A big tip would be to bring a fly deterrent and bug spray just in case. Try not to sit near the trees as those tables are subject to get inundated by flies. I made the mistake of bringing a lot of different foods which in turn brought on lots of bugs. Overall this is a solid neighborhood pool spot. The $5 admission won't break the bank and it's cheaper than many other Community pools. It's hardly luxury, but it is a convenient and affordable option. Pack lots of bug spray and be weary of flies.
