Park design created by Jon Rodiek’s
landscape students winning awards

The awards keep rolling in for a parkland design near Spring, Texas by graduate and undergraduate students led by Jon Rodiek, professor of landscape architecture at Texas A&M’s College of Architecture.
                               
The Cypress Creek Hike and Bike Trail, located in 160 acres of parkland operated by the Timber Lane Utility District, will be recognized March 17 by the Houston-Galveston Area Council as the “Best Parks and Natural Areas Project under $500,000.”

The parkland, designed by students in three studios led by Jon Rodiek beginning in 2005, is primarily on public land located along the northern bank of Cypress Creek adjacent to the Timber Lane subdivision in North Harris County, about 25 miles from downtown Houston.

In 2007, the council awarded the park with its “Best of the Best” award for park and trail planning.
