HUMBLE, Texas - An Humble neighborhood will soon be home to the very first man-made crystaline lagoon in Texas.

On August 23, the Balmoral community will celebrate the grand opening of the idyllic lagoon with Olympic swimmer and medalist Michael Phelps.

“We are excited to open our very first crystalline lagoon in Texas, as just one of many spectacular, tropical-style aquatic amenities we expect to develop across the state,” said Kevin P. Morgan, executive vice president of Crystal Lagoons U.S. Corp.

The lagoon will be open to residents in September.

It is the centerpiece of the Balmoral community’s $13 million, 8-acre amenity village project. Overlooking the new lagoon is an infinity-edge pool, while other amenities for guest include an impressive clubhouse, food truck courtyard, hammock park, sand volleyball court, playground and splash pad.
