Things to Do

Renaissance at Colony Park & Township at Colony Park

If a visitor only has time for one stop on their shopping journey, we suggest these neighboring shopping centers along Highland Colony Parkway. Specialty stores like J. Olive and Magnolia Soap & Bath are as popular as nearby favorites Lululemon and the Apple Store. Conveniently located near Ridgeland hotels and restaurants, you’ll have the perfect place to recharge after a day in the shops.

“Emily has great access to shop at Renaissance. It is so easy to maneuver and get around there and none of the shops have elevated entrances. Our family also enjoys going to Township. Emily mentioned Fusion Coffeehouse and Soulshine, specifically. It’s also easy to get around from shop to shop with easy entrances.”

Paved Trails

A popular site along the Natchez Trace Parkway in Ridgeland, the Chisha Foka Multi-Use trail is a 10-mile paved path that runs through historic Choctaw homelands. Named in honor of the Choctaw town, Chisha Foka translates to “among the post oaks.” Trail users can enjoy the recreational opportunities and the trees, wildflowers, and wildlife of this protected greenspace in Ridgeland. There are several easy-access entry points to the trail near connected to paved parking lots.

Additionally, Old Trace Park offers beautiful views of the Barnett Reservoir along paved, winding trails, and Freedom Ridge Park is home to an accessible Universal Design playground.
