One of the newest additions to Coralville’s outdoor spaces is just minutes from West Village. Colony Natural Recreation Area encompasses 60 acres of prairie, wetlands, creek corridors, and native oak and hickory woodlands, offering residents a peaceful place to experience the area’s natural landscape.
The recreation area is currently open for pedestrian hiking on mowed trails, with long-term plans for additional improvements that include paved walking trails, single-track bike trails, and a nature center. Ongoing restoration efforts will help protect the property’s ecologically sensitive areas while preserving this distinctive landscape for years to come.
For West Village residents, Colony Natural Recreation Area is another example of what makes this location so appealing: the convenience of Coralville living with open space and outdoor recreation close to home.
The park is open from sunrise to sunset. Visitors should be prepared for rough terrain and a quarter-mile hike from the parking area. Pets and wheeled recreational equipment are not currently permitted.
