Piney Creek Hollow Park

Park Overview

Found in Aurora, Colorado, Piney Creek Hollow Park spans a generous 46 acres of public space. Since its establishment in 2004, it's become something of a local favorite within the Trails Park and Recreation District boundaries.

The park offers a good blend of recreational facilities and natural spaces - with options for various interests. And we have to say, the consistently clean and well-kept grounds are definitely a plus.

Recreation Facilities

Sports enthusiasts will feel right at home with the park's baseball diamond and versatile multi-use fields well-suited for soccer, football, or just tossing a frisbee around. The baseball field deserves a special mention - it's impeccably maintained and easily accessible from the parking area via smooth paved walkways.

For the little ones, there's a delightful playground designed for children ages 2-12. Parents will appreciate the ample shade around the play area, making afternoon outings comfortable even during those sunny Colorado days.

Trails and Connectivity

One of the coolest things about this park is how it connects to the larger Piney Creek Regional Trail system. This means you can start your journey at the park and extend your adventure well beyond its boundaries if you're feeling adventurous.

The paved walking trails within the park itself are well-suited for a casual stroll, a brisk morning walk, or taking your four-legged friend for some exercise. The paths are well-maintained, making them accessible for almost everyone.

Natural Features

Step away from the more active areas, and you'll discover a peaceful forested creek area that attracts a variety of birds. This little pocket of nature provides a tranquil escape - excellent for when you need a moment of quiet or want to introduce kids to the wonders of local wildlife.

Amenities

Practical matters are well-handled here with clean restroom facilities that have running water - something that shouldn't be remarkable but is definitely appreciated when you're spending the day outdoors.

The covered pavilion near the playground is a real sight, offering eight picnic tables that can seat up to 64 people. This shaded gathering space makes an ideal spot for family reunions, birthday celebrations, or simply enjoying a packed lunch after playing at the park.

Community Events

During the year, the park comes alive with community gatherings like the Summer Celebration, springtime Egg Hunt, Halloween Trunk or Treat, and the energetic Trails 5k.

These events, along with children's sports and summer camps on weekends, make the park a popular gathering place for the community.

Accessibility

Getting to and around the park is a breeze thanks to 160 on-site parking spaces. The thoughtfully designed layout places parking near the main facilities, with paved pathways connecting to all the important areas around the park - making it welcoming for visitors of varying mobility levels.
