By The Agency Frisco
We've worked with a lot of buyers relocating to the Frisco and Prosper area, and Windsong Ranch comes up in nearly every conversation about master-planned communities. The reason isn't just the homes — it's what happens outside of them. With over 600 acres of green space, a five-acre tropical lagoon, mountain biking trails, disc golf, and miles of connected hike and bike paths, this community was designed around outdoor living in a way that's genuinely hard to find anywhere else in North Dallas.
Key Takeaways
- Windsong Ranch is a 2,000-acre master-planned community in Prosper, TX with resident-exclusive outdoor amenities
- The Lagoon is a five-acre Crystal Lagoons freshwater amenity with kayaking, paddleboarding, sand volleyball, and three sandy beaches
- Outdoor amenities include 30-plus miles of hike and bike trails, three mountain biking trails, and an 18-hole disc golf course
- A full-time Lifestyle Department runs a year-round calendar of outdoor fitness classes and community events
The Lagoon: The Centerpiece of Outdoor Life at Windsong Ranch
The Lagoon is the first thing most people ask about, and for good reason. It's a five-acre freshwater lagoon built using Crystal Lagoons technology — the first of its kind in North Texas — with clear turquoise water, three sandy beaches, and a depth of eight feet.
What residents can do at The Lagoon
- Kayaking and paddleboarding (rentals and classes available on-site)
- Swimming and sand volleyball
- Relaxing on the beach with lounge chairs, umbrellas, and shaded pavilion seating
- Grilling at one of six natural gas grill stations
The Lagoon is open Tuesday through Sunday year-round and is reserved exclusively for Windsong Ranch residents and their guests. Pool monitors are on duty during all operating hours.
Hike, Bike, and Mountain Bike Through 600-Plus Acres
Windsong Ranch has more than 30 miles of trails, and the system is genuinely built for daily use — not just weekend recreation. Eight-foot-wide concrete hike and bike paths connect neighborhoods to parks, amenity centers, and schools throughout the community.
Trail options by activity
- Hike and bike paths: Miles of connected, paved trails winding past creeks, mature oaks, and open meadows
- Mountain biking: Three dedicated trails routed through woods, over creeks, and into open fields — each with a different difficulty level
- Open fields: Hundreds of acres of green space suitable for soccer, flag football, or a casual afternoon outside
The natural landscape throughout Windsong Ranch — winding creeks, grand oaks, and passive park areas — gives everyday walks a feel that most Collin County developments simply can't replicate.
Disc Golf, Courts, and the Dog Park
Windsong Ranch's 18-hole championship disc golf course routes players through woods, along streams, and across open fields. It's a resident-only course designed to take full advantage of the North Texas terrain, and it's accessible to players of any skill level.
Sports and recreation facilities on-site
- The Court House: Covered and uncovered tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts
- Disc golf: 18-hole championship course through varied natural terrain
- Dog park: Two fully enclosed sections for small and large dogs, each with agility courses, shade trees, and hardwood mulch
Pickleball has grown quickly across the DFW area, and having dedicated courts inside the community means residents can play without driving to a public facility. The dog park is one of the more thoughtfully designed ones in Prosper — it's a genuine daily amenity for households with pets.
The Community Garden and Event Lawn
Two amenities that don't always make the headline but matter to daily life at Windsong Ranch: the community garden and the event lawn at The Commons.
What makes these spaces worth knowing about
- Community garden: Located just east of The Commons, residents can rent individual plots to grow seasonal produce; the garden is also home to an original windmill that once powered Mahard Egg Farm, the historic property on which Windsong Ranch was built
- Event lawn and amphitheater: A major outdoor gathering space at The Commons, used for outdoor movie nights, fitness classes, holiday events, and the annual Windsong Ranch Wine and Music Festival
The full-time Lifestyle Department programs a year-round calendar of outdoor events, fitness classes, and community activities — giving residents structure around the amenities rather than leaving them to figure it out on their own.
