About the Location

What You'll Find Here

Located in Aurora, Colorado, Appaloosa Park covers 6.7 acres of green space where locals come to relax and play. It provides a peaceful spot away from the everyday hustle.

The park has lush, well-kept grassy areas ideal for a picnic blanket or a game of frisbee. There's also artificial turf that provides a reliably flat surface for games and activities - no mud or puddles to worry about, even after rain.

Kid-Friendly Play Spaces

The playground is one of the highlights of Appaloosa. With dedicated areas for both little ones and bigger kids, parents can relax knowing their children are playing on age-appropriate equipment. From swings that soar to slides that thrill to climbing structures that challenge, there's something to delight every young explorer.

Instead of traditional mulch (and the inevitable shoes full of wood chips), you'll find a cushioned play surface underfoot. Your kids' knees - and your washing machine - will thank you for this practical touch.

Take a Break

When you need a moment to recharge, head to the shaded picnic area where tables and benches await your lunch spread or afternoon snack. The seasonal restrooms provide welcome convenience during your visit - no emergency trips home required.

Four-legged family members are welcome too! While there's plenty of open space for your pup to explore, remember that all dogs must stay leashed within the park.

Good to Know

Appaloosa Park offers that rare combination of energy and tranquility. The clean, well-maintained facilities make it a pleasant place to spend an afternoon, whether you're chasing after children or searching for a quiet spot to read.

If you're visiting in the evening, note that sound should be kept to 45 decibels or lower after 9 p.m. - about the volume of a quiet conversation - to respect the neighboring homes.

Park Guidelines

The park follows Aurora's standard rules: no fires except in designated grills, and pets must remain leashed at all times. Simple courtesies that help keep the park enjoyable for everyone.
