JT's Boat Rentals and Park Store started operations in
spring of 2002,
in
Hidden Cove Park
located on
Lewisville Lake which used to be
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.
The State of Texas closed Lewisville State Park and opened
Ray Roberts State Park
- (Directions/Map)
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's
contract
with the Colony was for the food, beverage and boat rentals for the
entire park.
Park operations were privatized to a marina operator in Jan.
2005 who also leased
from The Colony
with $250,000 due at signing which was
finally paid in 2008 to The City of The Colony.
The Colony city council cancelled JT's
Concessionaires Contract
after 7 years.
We
were then forced to close our park store in
Hidden Cove Park.
JT's Boat Rentals owns the domain
www.hiddencovepark.com
and the website was created in 2001, after
The City of The Colony cancelled our
contract
(with 9 years left on the contract), We
offered to sell the domain to the new operators but they
decline,
they told us they would change the name of
the park before they would pay us anything.
After 7 years of advertising for this park we
keep the domain for our customers to find us.
In 2010, the
marina operators had to have 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..........
The project is only a fraction of the
original proposal they presented to the city to win the bid
for the project.
850 slips is now just 350, The 500 slips were
never purchase from the Tribute.
No floating restaurant, No hotel, etc.
