Meadowlake Park

Tranquil Lakeside Escape

Found in the heart of a residential neighborhood, Meadowlake Park revolves around its crown jewel - Meadow Lake - a serene water feature that instantly calms your spirit when you visit. It's a pleasant local spot where you can unwind and reconnect with nature without having to venture far from the city.

This neighborhood park has become a favorite among locals looking for a peaceful outdoor retreat that's literally just around the corner. With its well-kept grounds and clean environment, it's no wonder families gravitate here when they need a break from the hustle.

Play and Sport Options

The park features a spacious playground for children. It features two separate play areas with multiple slides and activities, making it particularly great for the 2-7 age crowd. The playground area has shade trees that provide relief on sunny Colorado days, and a soft ground surface that helps cushion falls.

For those interested in sports, there are two tennis courts located next to the playground. More of a team sport person? The volleyball court with sand is ideal for impromptu games with friends or family.

Nature and Fishing Spots

The lake is a mini wildlife sanctuary, with ducks and geese often paddling around or lounging by the shore. If you're into bird watching, you might want to bring your binoculars - the feathered residents make for some delightful observation.

Fishing enthusiasts will feel right at home here too. There are several good spots around the lake where you can cast your line, with sunfish and crappie being common catches. It's an especially great place to introduce kids to fishing - nothing too complicated, just simple fun with decent chances of success.

Peaceful Pathways

The walking trails that meander around the lake offer a wonderful loop for those looking to stretch their legs or clear their mind. Regardless of whether you're aiming for your daily steps or just want a quiet moment of reflection, these paths deliver exactly what you need.

One thing we really appreciate is how accessible everything is. The paved walkways make the park navigable for everyone, including those with strollers or wheelchairs. You'll also find plenty of benches strategically placed around the lake - excellent for taking a moment to sit and soak in the views.

Gathering Spaces

When hunger strikes, you'll discover picnic areas with tables scattered within the park, including spots near the playground and alongside the lake. These provide places to enjoy a meal outdoors.

Beyond the designated picnic zones, the grassy areas around the lake provide plenty of space to spread out a blanket or engage in some casual games. The large open field next to the playground is particularly ideal for tossing a frisbee or kicking a ball around.

Good to Know

Feel free to bring your four-legged friend along - the park is dog-friendly, but you'll need to keep them leashed at all times, including in the open field areas.

Note that there are no public restrooms available at Meadowlake Park, so plan accordingly. When it comes to parking, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a spot on the street nearby.
