City of Highland Village

Highland Village, TX

Charlotte Wilcox

Mayor

Pledge Summary

Highland Village, a 5.5 square mile city in southern Denton County, is a desirable place to live and raise a family. Highland Village residents actively use the 20 parks (393 acres), as well as the 12.7 miles of trails within the City. Doubletree Ranch Park, which is arguably the crown jewel of the city, boasts several gardens which are maintained through a partnership between the Denton County Master Gardeners and the city's parks department. During their migration in the spring and fall, thousands of monarch butterflies can be witnessed funneling through the gardens at Doubletree Ranch Park. Mayor Charlotte Wilcox is committed to protecting and restoring the monarch butterfly and other pollinators with the signing of the Mayors’ Monarch Pledge.
