Recreation
The Colony is home to multiple nature trails, perfect for runners, cyclists, hikers and nature lovers.

The trail also features fitness videos, accessible through a mobile device. Signs along the trail display QR codes for core, lower and upper body workouts, as well as flexibility exercises.
Family Fun
Two centrally placed playgrounds are the perfect way to keep kids entertained. Watch over them from a nearby bench or shaded area. Shade is in abundance at the complex with multiple star-shaped pavilions, wrap-around porches on concession buildings and spectator shade structures on every field.
Veterans Memorial
The Colony is proud to honor military servicemen and women. The Veterans Memorial, located within the complex, features bricks recognizing veterans of the past, present and future. Each brick displays a service member’s name, rank, branch of the military and years of service.
The city continues to honor veterans and active military through events such as American Heroes. Every Veteran’s Day, visitors and locals come together to salute servicemen and women. In addition to the carnival rides, concert series and Texas-sized firework display, multiple ceremonies recognize those who have fought for freedom. Honor a veteran or active military member during the Heroes Ceremony and remember the unselfish contributions by the servicemen and women at the Memorial Ceremony, or get the kids involved at the Heroes Hut.
