Parks Authority | ||||||||||||
|
The Castle Pines Parks Authority is a governmental alliance between the Castle Pines North Metropolitan District and Douglas County. Its role will bring together all of the various entities needed to plan, fund and build active parks in our area. The northeast corner of Monarch Blvd. and Hidden Pointe Blvd is the first area for an active park. The
area includes a future school site and has room for three soccer/baseball
fields together with a playground, picnic facilities, restrooms,
and trails. |

Highlands Ranch Open Space | ||||||||||||
|
The "public hearing" signs seen along the northern section of Daniels Park Road are for the review of plans for the Open Space south of Highlands Ranch. There will never be any housing or commercial development in this area, but the Plan would allow public and recreational uses in the area immediately north of us (like parks, interpretive wildlife centers, museums, schools, libraries, fire stations, and other public buildings; churches; utility lines and facilities like a water treatment plant). In the area immediately south of Highlands Rance (south of McArthur Ranch Road, between Quebec and Daniels Park Road), the County is planning a major regional park and the School District plans a Middle/High School complex. Highlands Ranch is currently making some revisions to their plan to accomodate the concerns of the American Indians who want to discourage "public" activities near the Tall Bull Memorial (held sacred by the American Indians). The Tall Bull Memorial itself is located in Daniels Park which is a City and County of Denver Mountain Park. |

Are there any soccer fields coming into the area? | ||||||||||||
|
The County is planning a major regional park (with soccer fields) just south of Highlands Ranch (at the proposed school complex site in the vicinity of Quebec and McArthur Ranch Road). Two more major regional sites are included in the Canyons development, one of these would be an active park and would be located east of I-25; accessed via Castle Pines Parkway. |

What are the plans for Cherokee Ranch? | ||||||||||||
| Cherokee
Ranch may someday have a center that is open to the public, but the
expectation is that the balance of the Ranch will limit public access
in order to preserve wildlife habitats. The owner of this ranch, the
late Tweet Kimball, dedicated the development rights for this land
so that it would always remain undeveloped. The land remains privately
held. Tell me more about Cherokee Ranch  |

Trail System Expansion | ||||||||||||
|
The County is planning expansion of the Regional Trail system. One new trail would parallel Daniels Park Road and connect to another new trail system that would go through the Highlands Ranch Open Space north of Daniels Park and connect to Chatfield Reservoir and the Cherry Creek Trail Systems. |
