This phase of the Colony Park District Park - General Park Improvements project develops approximately 9 acres and provides the following: a baseball field, soccer/multi sports field, a large play area with elements of nature based play, fitness equipment, two pavilions, picnic tables, drinking fountains, and a portion of the hike and bike trails network to connect the adjacent communities from the west to the park facilities and elementary school.
PROJECT PURPOSE
These improvements are consistent with the adopted District Park Master Plan developed by the Colony Park Sustainable Community Initiative (CPSCI). The CPSCI, led by the City of Austin Neighborhood Housing and Community Development Department, includes 3 years of public input. The resulting Master Plan integrates and reflects the needs and interests of the surrounding community while incorporating best practices within a sustainable development.
