City of The Colony - Texas Government

We couldn't make this up. 🐝🦋

A carpenter bee AND a butterfly (possibly a gray hairstreak butterfly) sharing the same green milkweed, spotted right here in The Colony along our Park Loop Trail.

This is exactly why we're committed to protecting and expanding native plant habitat in our parks.

Nature is doing its thing, and we're here for it.

🌺 The Colony Senior Center kicked off summer with a packed house at their Aloha Luau Dinner Party.

Guests enjoyed delicious food, a performance by traditional Hawaiian dancers, and even had the opportunity to learn a few dance moves themselves!

Looking for opportunities to stay active, make new friends and enjoy events like this? The Colony Senior Center offers activities, programs special events and more throughout the year.

Stop by and see what's happening! You might just find your new favorite activity!
