Plans for Recreational facilities

Coyote Ridge Park - (8-01-02)

Located at the northeast corner of Monarch Blvd. and Hidden Pointe Blvd, is "Coyote Ridge Park" named by Hidden Pointe resident Kim Nelson.

There are two play fields, the parking areas and the playground.

Coyote Ridge is nearing completion. The baseball field should be ready for play in August (2002). The bridge is in, and the sidewalks connecting the ball fields are expected to be done before the end of summer.

Castle View Park. A new park will be built in the area north of Castle Pines Parkway, from the CPN Community Center east to the Montessori School. The access road will be from the new intersection of the Parkway and the new LaGae Road (next to the King Soopers). Funding for the park will come partially from developer fees that have been paid to CPN's Parks Authority, and partially from Master HOA dues.

Golf - The Ridge at Castle Pines North - 303-688-0100.

All things golf - Local-area courses and other bits of note and lore.

Gardening in CPN - for some of us it is an all-consuming passion.

Cherokee Ranch -
located adjacent to CPN
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. There will never be any development.

Daniels Park -
a City of Denver Mountain Park just north of CPN
This includes a shelter just north of CPN Parkway, the buffalo enclosure and the Tall Bull Memorial. The City and County of Denver will determine future uses in this park. There will never be any development.

Highlands Ranch Open Space
(overview map)-in the northern quadrant of our area - This is an 8,000 acre area, 1200 acres of which can be used for public and recreational uses. This area is managed by the Highlands Ranch Community Assoc and the Highlands Ranch developer. There will never be any commercial or residential development in this area.

Proposed Trails

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.

Douglas County will be working on the design and construction of its major trail link from our nothern border through the Highlands Ranch Open Space to connect the parks/trailways to Highlands Ranch.

Douglas County is beginning work in 2002 on the East-West Regional Trail, which will go in the open space area north of CPN, and eventually continue west to Chatfield Reservoir, north to the new Bluffs Park, and and east to the Cherry Creek trail system.

This system will eventually tie our park into trails and parks from Chatfield to Parker.

Proposed Parks

Douglas County has opened the new "Bluffs Regional Park," a "natural" park with hiking trails, located south of Lincoln on Yosemite.

Douglas County is also finalizing plans for the new Wildcat Regional Park north of CPN, near the new middle school/ high school complex at Monarch and McArthur Ranch Road. This will be a large, 200-acre park with league-play ball fields (6 baseball fields and several multipurpose fields for soccer, football, lacrosse, etc.), as well as many other amenities such as walking and biking trails, a garden and observation area, a lake, and dog-park areas. Funding of this park will come from Douglas County Parks funds, plus additional funds from the Highlands Ranch Metro District (if Highlands Ranch voters approve bond money for the park in the November election). The County plans to begin construction in 2003.
