Confirmed from Austin's Colony Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Green space featuring a playground and hiking trails, plus basketball and tennis courts.
What runners say about Austin's Colony Park
“Nice, clean park to take the family on a warm sunny day!”
“It’s an easy walk and would be great for you g kids or trail runners.”
I used the park for the hiking trail. The trail head says .3 miles but the trail itself is longer than that and it has different choices on how you get back to where you started. Depending on which way you chose the trail probably ranges from 1.0-1.5 miles.
Great place. It has places for kids, some walnut trees, massive spread of grape vines. I spotted two young deer in the woods. Great place to spend 1 or 2 hours with your family and friends. The design of the trail is especially good. It has several branches as well. Be careful of the spider webs and ton of mosquitos.
Nice to come play... in cooler weather. In summer months, there's little to no tree cover in the play areas, so it can get hot. There's wood cover and trails in the back, but there are bugs when it's hot and flooding when it's raining.
I love the nature trail they have to walk it is so beautiful and calming good spot to take the pets for a walk. Keep a eye open I have seen a few snakes myself so if your with a furry pet make sure to keep them close by . But I recommend this park if you want to get a good walk in .
