Cottonwood Park

Park Overview

Located in Aurora, Colorado, Cottonwood Park spans a cozy 7.7 acres, offering a fantastic blend of recreational spaces and natural beauty. This suburban location provides a welcome escape for both locals and visitors looking to enjoy some fresh air.

What we love about this park is its thoughtful layout - open grassy fields interspersed with mature trees that create those perfect shady spots for when the Colorado sun gets a bit too enthusiastic. Regardless of whether you're seeking a sun-soaked patch for a picnic or a cool retreat under leafy canopies, you'll come across your perfect spot here.

Facilities & Amenities

Cottonwood Park has something for everyone. If you've got kids in tow, the playground area is a must-visit, complete with tot swings specifically designed for the little ones between 2-5 years old.

Feeling active? The basketball court awaits for pickup games or just shooting some hoops on your own. For gatherings with family and friends, the picnic shelter provides an ideal setting - well-suited for anything from birthday celebrations to casual weekend get-togethers.

Park Guidelines

Keep in mind that sound travels in this residential area, so try to keep noise levels down, especially after 9 p.m. Your neighbors will thank you!

As with all Aurora parks, there are a few rules to follow. Your four-legged friends are welcome but must be on leashes no longer than 10 feet, and you'll need to clean up after them. For everyone's safety and enjoyment, activities like golfing and camping aren't permitted, and it's best to leave glass containers at home to keep the park clean and safe for barefoot summer adventures.
