The Colony's history is interesting chiefly because nearly all of it is recent. New developments take advantage of stunning views of Lake Lewisville to the west. Ranked as the safest community of its size in the Metroplex, The Colony residents enjoy outstanding recreation opportunities, award winning schools and a family oriented community all within easy access of major commercial centers. The Colony also boasts its own growing retail community and location in the Golden Corridor within three miles of the Legacy Drive business park in west Plano, and within shouting distance of the headquarters for Frito-Lay, EDS, JCPenney, etc. Recreationally, The Colony residents benefit from 18 city parks including the 720- acre Hidden Cove Park. Formerly Lake Lewisville State Park, the city leases this beautiful facility on the lake shore to provide camping, boating and other water related recreation to citizens throughout the Metroplex. Other city parks include a million dollar water sports complex, a 41-acre park equipped with jogging trails, Frisbee disk golf and an amphitheater, and numerous "pocket" parks that provide room to play throughout the community. Two gold course projects are also currently under development. Educationally, the city is part of the award winning Lewisville ISD. Within The Colony are six elementary schols, two middle schools and high school high school determined to place The Colony, Texas on the natioal map. In 1997, The Colony High School Marching Band was one of the 19 high school bands from around the nation selected to play in the New Year's Day Tournament of Roses Parade. |
