We got there late but still got a great spot to put our chairs to watch all the bands playing, front & center on the 3rd level. There were over 20 Colorado breweries pouring fantastic brews and several local food trucks. The bands were jamming all evening late into the night. It ended with a great Rock n Roll band and great pours from several breweries. Great area, atmosphere, space & vibes.

We easily wandered for over three miles. Stroller-friendly even on the dirt portions, since they are well used and fairly flat. Plenty of paved walkways so you can go after a snow. A thing to note - there are a lot of off leash dogs here. While I am a dog person and loved meeting people's fur babies, I understand not everyone would be comfortable. It's not an off leash park but locals seem to be used to doing this, so just be aware there will be curious pooches saying hello.

While vacationing in Parker, we were looking for a somewhat scenic view of Mountains. We looked up…read moresome places and Cherry Creek State Park was the closest place we could find. Like most state parks you have to pay to enter (park). I loved that they had signs pointing you in the right directions. We ended up adventuring near the rental picnic area down by the lake. I loved that it wasn't too busy despite it being summer. Very nice chill place to explore!

What a beautiful place. Well maintained paths. Kind walkers, runners and cyclists on the trail. And PLENTY to see. Restrooms are conveniently located and also well maintained throughout the entire park. The views are GORGEOUS!!! 10/10: Wonderful time all around.

Nice, hidden park of adventures right here. The parking is right off the main road which is nice…read more The space is not plentiful for the amount of pedestrians in this area. You have access to either side of the park entrance off the main road. There is a crosswalk‍‍ and a beg button to safely cross. Watch out for coyotes in the area too. There are two porta potty clearly marked and camouflaged with the environment. SMART! I walked a few trails and blissfully absorbed the sounds of nature surrounding me. I like the ponds, the native wildlife and natural earth tone paths. One thing for sure is if you are out here for a period of time I would take some kind of bug spray. The mosquitoes were horrible. I also liked the sporadically places rocks, giant tree log, tree trunks and memorial benches place in this park. A soothing, gentle and relaxing atmosphere and area. I'll be back to explore more!

I had a great hike at Dawson Butte Ranch the past Sunday (Oct 11, 2020) with my friend and highly…read morerecommend this place for a hike with your friends/family/pooch! This is a spacious place that only has a loop (about 5 miles all the way from the start to finish) so you will never get lost there. It's got some shades so despite the name you will be able to rest and catch some breath in a shaded area if you don't want to be in the sun. The trail is moderate and is mainly sandy which I liked; it's not too burdensome for your knees if you have knee problem. We also saw people with horses and donkeys so there should be some horse/donkey riding place where they offer such service (watch out for their droppings on the trail!) It also offers beautiful views of nearby buttes and you will be able to take great pictures there. Can't wait to go back there again!

From bike trails to bird watching, this place is perfect for a family getaway. While it gives strong vibes of a pleasant oasis tucked away, it's actually within walking distance to food and shopping. My husband and I picked up bowls from Vibe just down the street and had a relaxing lunch in the shade of an ancient tree. Green buds are breaking through the tips of branches, heralding spring.

Yet we drove through there and see piles of trash left behind that they just leave there for the next camper???? WTF? On our last visit we passed up 3 sites due to this.

The layout really works, there's plenty of room for everyone to enjoy themselves without feeling crowded. The landscaping is especially impressive, with gorgeous rock placements around the skating areas that add both character and functionality. I actually settled right beside the skate area on a rock formation that fit perfectly like a little chair, which made it easy to watch my husband skate and our son ride his scooter. The trees provided just enough shade to keep things comfortable and not too hot. On the opposite side of the park, there's a large pickleball and tennis court, and the two areas are connected by pleasant walking trails that run throughout the park. There was also a port-a-potty conveniently located near the skating area. Overall, the park was very clean, well maintained, and clearly designed with families and all kinds of activities in mind.
