WHATS HAPPENING IN MERIDIANA We are excited to announce the grand opening of our newest park. Meridiana’s four-acre Explorer’s Park features climbers, slides, swings and other play equipment – all under a shaded canopy – with a tree-lined green space large enough for soccer, touch football and other group activities. The new park and playground experience also offers ample seating and a quarter-mile walking path encircling the tranquil setting. The opening of Explorer’s Park is being followed by the opening of another adventurous park - The Park at Adventure Lake features a 23-acre lake experience for catch-and-release fishing, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding. The park also will feature a sprawling, tree-lined setting and shaded family playground. East of Meridiana’s Welcome Center on Meridiana Parkway, Alvin ISD is making headway on our on-site Junior High School. Construction has begun and the new school is tentatively set to open by Fall 2021.
Our Back to School Bash was one for the books - Families kicked off the school year by celebrating the final days of summer with Alvin ISD teachers and students at the Oasis Village. Teachers and High School students volunteered their time to make sure our families enjoyed the event! Residents can now enjoy an on-site soccer program! In partnership with The Baller Academy, your child can join a variety of camps and even an age-appropriate team. The first camps launched this summer and have been a huge hit – You’ve asked and we listened!
