4/23/24: April showers bring May flowers! Due to the inclement weather we have experienced this week, tomorrow's scheduled reopening celebration for the west end improvements has been canceled. In preparation for the upcoming pool season, staff will be switching out the gates along West Point Drive, making the area inaccessible.
Enjoy the improvements during the members-only opening day of the pool season on Saturday, May 3, or Sunday, May 4, for residents. Beat the lines and purchase your 2025 Colonial Park Pool membership today!
The decks are also available to be rented during the pool season, and more information on how to rent them can be found at www.westutx.gov/rentals.

4/17/25:Hot diggity dog! West U residents and their families are invited to join the Parks and Recreation Department on Thursday, April 24, at the Colonial Park West End from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. to celebrate the completion of recent improvements. Light refreshments, hot dogs and all the fixings will be available.
Staff worked with the Parks and Recreation Board in an effort to encourage more utilization at the west end of Colonial Park. This project was identified as part of the 2025 Capital Improvement Program. New tree lighting, colorful children's and adult furniture, artificial turf (Byron side), new sod, fence repairs and fence painting make the area more inviting for all ages.
The City would like to extend a special thanks to the Friends of West U Parks Fund for their generosity in funding the entirety of this project!
