Community Development & Parks Master Plan
The Colony, Texas
MHS Planning & Design partnered with the City of The Colony to develop a Parks and Recreation Master Plan for 2019 - 2029. The planning process included an assessment of the existing demographics and inventory, public engagement, and recommendations for the future system. The MHS team worked closely with the City, private concessionaires, and the US Army Corps of Engineers regarding properties along Lake Lewisville and gained extensive knowledge about the Corps and public/private partnerships.
The Colony has been able to utilize this Master Plan to renovate/develop two parks to serve the community; Stewart Creek Park and West Shore Park. In addition, the City has successfully developed TPWD grants and constructed trails.
