Park History:

Hidden Cove Park is on Lewisville Lake which used to be called Lewisville State Park, developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1981. The State of Texas built the roads, shelters, pavilions, RV sites, dining hall, boat ramp, etc. When the State of Texas turned Lewisville State Park over to The Colony, this terminated the status of the park as a state park. The state then opened Ray Roberts State Park - (Directions/Map) just a few minutes away with more RV sites, camping areas, large sandy swim beach, fishing pier and store. Since May 1, 1995, The City of The Colony leases Hidden Cove Park from the Corps at no charge.

JT's Boat Rentals and park store started operations in spring of 2002. JT's Concessionaire contract with The Colony was for the food, beverage and boat rentals for the entire park, fulfilling the city's contract with the US Army Corps of Engineers. JT's submitted initial plans for boat slips, miniature golf, arcade center and enlarging the store, but our plans were denied. The Park operations were privatized by the city in January 2005 and leased from The Colony by a marina operator with $250,000 due at signing, Lease Agreement. The City of the The Colony (via the Parks & Rec. Director) told JT's the city and marina operators would honor our contract when the marina operators started construction. JT's designed the layout of the current ship store. We were prepared to stock and operate the ship store/gas docks, have 30 motor boats, and 4 party boats. We endured vandalism, jet ski theft, mowing of  the lawn late Saturday  mornings with our customers there, gas tanks taken off boats and scattered in the parking lot, etc. In the fall of 2008 the new marina operator finally paid The City of The Colony $250,000 and then The Colony City Council cancelled JT's Concessionaire Contract the next week after 7 years with 9 years remaining on JT's contract.  JT's was then forced to close our park store and boat rentals in Hidden Cove Park.

 

JT's Boat Rentals owns the domain name www.hiddencovepark.com which was created by JT's in 2001.

After The City of The Colony cancelled our contract, JT's offered to sell the domain to the new operator in Sep. 2008, but they declined stating they would change the name of the park before paying JT's anything. After 7 years of advertising and marketing for this park, we kept the domain for our customers to find JT's new location at Eagle Point Marina and to deter rumors and or slander of our company.

JT's is the First and Only owner of this domain. This domain name is still for sale.

 

In 2010, They are reducing the number of slips below 350 but are going to get a partial Certificate of Occupancy just so they can open. The marina operators had a local Frisco company refinance the project again. The Colony Council heard a presentation from Frisco City Council member Scott Johnson, representing not Frisco but Ascendant Solutions, read more.......... , but in 2011 Ascendant withdrew and is no longer involved.

Currently, Hidden Cove Marina is still under construction since 2005 and is not yet completed. The project is only a fraction of the original proposal presented to the city as 850 slips are now just 350 because 500 slips were never purchased by the marina operator from the Tribute developers. Hidden Cove Park is not presently a "resort" as it does not have the floating restaurant, hotel, pool, beach, etc.
