Perryman Park is located at 4930 South Colony Blvd, across from Central Firehouse #1.

The large dog side of the Pawsome Playground Dog Park is temporarily shut down for the evening due to a large fallen limb. The small dog side remains open. The limb removal will happen during the regularly scheduled maintenance at the park on Thursday. The large dog side will reopen when the maintenance is complete.

🐾🚧 Pawsome Playground Pup-date! 🚧🐾

Our Big Dog Area will be taking a quick spa day tomorrow! 🐕✨ The area will be closed from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. while we complete some maintenance to keep the park in tip-top shape for our four-legged visitors.

🐶 Good news: The Small Dog Area will remain open and ready for playtime!

Thanks for your patience while we make improvements to keep Pawsome Playground a safe and enjoyable place for everyone. We can't wait to welcome your pups back!

Did you know parts of The Colony Parks & Recreation Department's Park Loop Trail from Ragan to Clover Valley are intentionally not being fully mowed? WHY? ⤵

Last year, wildflower areas grew well in this area and we've been rewarded with pollinators now visiting those areas! 🦋

Parks is continuing this approach, letting native plants seed naturally and gradually take over where weeds once dominated. So, if you notice some wilder-looking stretches on the trail, that's by design!

Learn more about the Wildflower & Naturalized Areas Program by Parks on their website.

Something beautiful is growing in The Colony, and it's completely on purpose. 🌸

The Colony Parks & Recreation Department has been working to naturalize areas at Squires Park, along FM 423 and the Park Loop Trail with native wildflowers and plants. It's more than pretty, it's a long-term investment in our local ecosystem.

Stay tuned as we share the story behind the blooms, or visit Parks' website for more info!
