Windsor Park Lakes, Houston, Texas

Windsor Park Lakes is a guard-gated community in the Katy area of west Houston. It is situated around a group of man-made, private recreational lakes that are stocked for catch and release fishing.

Windsor Park Lakes is bounded on the west by Baker Road, on the north by Kingsland Boulevard and on the east and south by George Bush Park which keeps the neighborhood partially isolated from the busy world outside its borders. The houses are predominantly large and Mediterranean in style. The majority of homes back onto a lake and have a swimming pool and a private dock.

The community of approximately 340 homes was developed over ten years from the late 1990s into the 2000s. It is managed by the Windsor Park Lakes Homeowners Association which enforces deed restrictions, maintains the common areas, and oversees the recreation center and other amenities.

Windsor Park Lakes is served by the Katy Independent School District. Students are zoned to Pattison Elementary School, McMeans Junior High School, and Taylor High School. All are highly rated schools. Taylor High School is a former National Blue Ribbon Award school.

Residents of Windsor Park Lakes enjoy convenient access to the Energy Corridor, Texas Medical Center and other major employers in the area.

Entertainment within the neighborhood is centered around the lakes and the Recreation Center. The lakes offer non-motorized boating and catch and release fishing from boats, private docks and community piers. The Recreation Center features lighted tennis and basketball courts, a sand beach, a large swimming pool and a fitness center.

Just outside Windsor Park Lakes is the massive George Bush Park. The 7,800 acre, mostly undeveloped park sits entirely within Barker Reservoir. The section of the park along Westheimer Parkway contains baseball and softball fields, soccer fields, model aircraft flying fields, a shooting range, jogging trails, pavilions, playgrounds and ponds. It is also a popular geocaching destination.

Gary and Bonnie Trietsch Park is located on Baker Road near the entrance to Windsor Park Lakes. It is mostly a hiking and biking area containing three miles of trails within its 41 acres. Crescent Green Park is located on Greenhouse Road and offers a playground, a volleyball court, a soccer field and walking trails.  Wisdom Woods Park is located on Wisdom Woods Way and features a soccer field, a playground, a picnic area and a green space.
