Given Tavola's location, it should be no surprise that residents have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Lake Houston Wilderness Park is just minutes to the south, where residents can enjoy walks along the trails and evenings on the lake. The park is also available for overnight camping. Residents can also head north to Sam Houston National Forest, among the largest parks in the region. Sam Houston offers bike trails, fishing locations, horse riding, hunting opportunities, and overnight camping. Residents who want to stay a little closer to home have Tavola's wonderful new recreation center. It features a junior-olympic sized pool, a state-of-the-art playground, and clubhouse. There are also miles of wooded trails surrounding the area where residents can get their daily walk in while enjoying the smaller parks that dot the community. Tavola is served by the New Caney Independent School District. Tavola Elementary is within the community's boundaries, while Keefer Crossing Middle School and New Caney High School are close by. The district is noted for its programs devoted to developing its students tech skills at an early age.
