Paws Colinas Dog Park Have you been yearning for a dog park in Las Colinas? Your dream is coming true! Seeing the deficit of a dog park in the community, the Las Colinas Association in partnership with the City of Irving has begun construction on a community dog park located at Riverside Drive and California Crossing. The park will have one large and one small dog enclosure. Use between the enclosures will alternate to prevent land damage. The park will also have shade, Campion Trail access, water facilities, restrooms and parking.
Construction began in December of 2019 and LCA anticipates to open the dog park in the summer of 2020. Ultimately, the City of Irving will own the park and LCA will maintain the property. The park will be the perfect place to bring Fido for a fun afternoon in the Las Colinas sun! Keep on the look out on our social media and website for more information to come on an official opening date.

A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY
Dear Las Colinas Community, In a very short time, the world has changed and it looks much different today than it did even last week. COVID – 19 has changed the way everyone is doing normal, everyday life. It is completely normal to feel anxious and worried – we are right there with you. Practice social distancing. There’s a lot of evidence emerging that people are able to spread the disease before they start showing symptoms, which means you can feel totally fine but accidentally infect others. To that end, we have several updates to make you aware of: 1. We are postponing the Annual Meeting of Members that was scheduled for March 24th at 4pm. It is rescheduled for April 21, 2020 at 4pm at the LCA office. Please watch for additional information regarding the April 21st Annual Meeting. 2. For the time being, we are implementing new office procedures which allows for outside visitors by appointment only – no walk-ins. If you are able, please conduct business with the staff via phone or email. If you know the email address of a specific staff member, you may use that; or you may use our general email: lca@lascolinas.org . Our office number is 972-541-2345.

This program was created to highlight exceptional, picturesque properties in the development. Each month our Property Compliance team will choose 4 residential properties and 2 commercial properties to be given this honor. A sign recognizing the property will be placed on the owner’s property upon their permission and removed at the end of the month. These properties will be featured on Las Colinas’s social media platforms. This program began on March 1st. So, keep your eye out for the signs and maybe your property could be LCA’s next Recognized Property!
