About Our Parks

Located at the base of Pikes Peak, the City of Colorado Springs has 9,000+ acres of parkland and 500 acres of trails that include renown attractions like Garden of the Gods and the Manitou Incline trail.

City parks encompass a diverse array of natural areas, including forested foothills, sheer-walled canyons, mountain streams, unique rock formations, expansive grasslands and scenic mesas.

Colorado Springs also provides a variety of urban commuter trails, neighborhood parks, athletic facilities and open spaces that contribute to the department's mission of enhancing the quality of life for its residents.

The list continues to grow as the department adds and maintains recreational areas, with many new areas in development.
