NOAH'S ARK & POOL INFORMATION
Our Quillian Recreation Center is a beautiful facility that includes 2 swimming pools, an outdoor basketball pavilion, a shaded picnic area, ball fields, a gymnasium, and an indoor climbing wall.
The swimming facilities include a large swimming pool with dual slides and two diving boards. The smaller pool, known as the "Noah's Ark Pool", is the most popular area as it is ideal for pre-k and early elementary children. It is shallow and provides a good area for splashing and playing. A "Noah's Ark" structure is located In the center of the pool and includes three slides and a crawl-through. A mushroom water drop, a rainbow slide, a coconut water drop, and spraying water from Noah's animals complete this fun facility.
Either of these pools may be rented for private parties after public pool hours, and on Sundays . During open swim hours the covered picnic area is also available for rental. For more information on pool rentals please visit the "Parties and Facility Rental" page.
For information on renting the gymnasium, ball fields, covered picnic area, outdoor pavilion, or indoor climbing wall please contact Jack Long at: jlong@fmhouston.com or 713-458-4712.

These passes must be used by September 1, 2008 and can be purchased at the concession stand. Quillian Center accepts cash and checks, but we are unable to process credit cards at the pool.
Please support Quillian’s Concessions Stand!!! Quillian Center relies on concessions revenue to help offset the cost of maintaining the pool. We would appreciate if pool patrons would frequent the concessions stand when visiting the Noah’s Ark Pool. This year we have expanded the menu, yet continue to provide cold drinks, ice cream, and candy for the kids to enjoy. Please visit the concession stand and ask about the daily special.
For your convenience these concessions are welcomed at poolside. However, glass containers, alcohol, outside food, and smoking are not allowed. Thank you for helping keep Quillian clean.
