About Clear Creek Valley Park
Recreational Facilities
Situated in Arvada, Colorado, Clear Creek Valley Park spreads across 80 acres of recreational space. As the newest addition to the Hyland Hills Park & Recreation District, this spacious park has something for everyone, whether you're looking to break a sweat or just soak in some nature.
The expansive green spaces and grassy fields give you plenty of room to toss a frisbee, kick a ball around, or simply spread out a blanket and relax. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the pickleball courts with lights (perfect for those evening games), sand volleyball courts for your beach vibes minus the ocean, basketball courts for shooting hoops, and dedicated areas for cornhole if that's more your speed.
Natural Features & Trails
Winding through the park is a network of paved trails and softer paths that beckon walkers, joggers, and explorers. You can take a leisurely stroll around the perimeter while taking in the natural beauty that surrounds you. The park's wildlife viewing lakes and large central pond offer peaceful spots to cast a line or simply watch local birds and animals go about their day.
One of the park's understated treasures is its mountain views - stick around for sunset and you won't be disappointed. Despite being a popular spot, there's enough open space that you can always find your own little corner of tranquility.

Family Attractions
Kids will enjoy Clear Creek Valley Park's multiple playgrounds designed for different age groups. These aren't your average swing sets - they've got creative nature-themed play structures resembling treehouses and a whimsical garden theme complete with celery-shaped slides and carrot-shaped benches (yes, even a pepper bench!).
For the thrill-seekers, the park's zipline offers an exhilarating ride that never seems to get old, no matter how many times you go. Smaller children have their own designated play area, and a sandbox awaits budding architects and their sand castles.
Community Spaces
Gathering with friends and family is easy with several shelters and pavilions scattered within the park. These spots, equipped with multiple tables and some even with electrical outlets, make for perfect picnic or birthday party venues. The park's amphitheater represents a cultural hub, hosting everything from summer concert series to seasonal celebrations like the Harvest Festival.
If you've got a green thumb, you might be interested in the park's community garden where locals come together to grow their own vegetables and flowers.
Fitness & Recreation
You don't need a gym membership to stay active here - the park offers outdoor fitness equipment for those who prefer to exercise with a view. The flat walking trails that loop around the park accommodate all fitness levels, while the open grassy areas give you space to play catch or practice yoga.
Dog owners will find this park particularly welcoming, with plenty of space for four-legged friends to explore. Pet waste stations are conveniently placed throughout, helping keep the park clean for everyone.

Amenities & Accessibility
Getting around Clear Creek Valley Park is straightforward with two paved parking lots serving different sections. You'll come across clean restrooms with flush toilets and drinking fountains to keep you comfortable during your visit, although it's worth noting the restrooms are a bit of a hike from the amphitheater.
The park maintains a reputation for cleanliness and good upkeep. One minor drawback? On hot Colorado days, you might find yourself wishing for more shade, especially in the playground and open field areas. But overall, whether you're planning a family outing, a solo nature walk, or a community event, Clear Creek Valley Park offers a versatile escape from the everyday hustle.
