Cottonwood Creek Park

I love this park. When I'm in Colorado Springs We take our grandson to this park to play. It has space to run around plenty of Park equipment basketball courts and even when he was little I take them around the walking path which is a very well maintained. This is a really nice park. There are two porta potties on premise. Plus there is a hill for sliding when there's snow. Last week these wonderful firemen showed up to rescue a little boy who climbed too high in a tree.

Love the wide sidewalks and the many routes you can take from various points in the neighborhoods. Always a good view of the mountains and so fun to see other pups out so often.

It's an older park so not as shiny & new, but entertaining. I have kids from age ranges 5 to 16 years old and there's something for everybody. Can spend hours here.

One of the best parks in Colorado Springs for kids. The canal trail system is paved for miles. There's expansive mountain biking trails designed to meander in-and-out of the creek beds which interconnect and tie to the primary trail system. The trail system and park is full of large trees, fully grown with awesome shade canopies. Playground system for children is extensive with rail glides, ninja warrior climbing stuff, slides, hanging bar obstacles, swings, and climbing walls... everything that you would want out of a park for kids 3-16... Plus huge trees for shade accompanied by plentiful seating. On the rec side, there's a handful of soccer fields, (3) baseball diamonds, and a badass winter sledding hill. The parks primary open areas are flat, so kids learning how to bike, skateboarding, rollerblading and etc have e a pretty easy time getting around. There are (3) paved loops, and adjacent dirt trails on the creek; a 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and 1 mile. All of the loops can be seen in their entirety from the childrens park play area, which also has gazebos to serve as really great picnic areas. Added bonus, a YMCA is located adjacent to the park. This is the first time I brought my kids to the park. They played for hours on their bikes. We will be back A LOT!

Tennis courts next to YMCA building. 2tennis courts. Across the hockey and next to basketball courts. Good views park~

Wonderful everything. The close proximity to the YMCA allows for people to use the restroom or get water when needed. The playground is so much fun. Offers a field for soccer and whatnot. It's an amazing park.

Went under the bridge, and walked the trail that runs next to the creek. Definitely sad to see all the trash strewn along the creek, but still an enjoyable walk.
