Terrace Park

Park Overview

Set in Aurora, Terrace Park may be modest at just 4.3 acres, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in charm. Like all parks in Aurora's system, it welcomes visitors daily from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., giving you plenty of time to enjoy this neighborhood retreat.

With its abundance of shade trees and easy street parking, this little oasis offers a refreshingly peaceful vibe. Nothing flashy here - just a relaxed green space that works equally well for a quick afternoon breather or gathering with friends.

Recreation Opportunities

While not sprawling, Terrace Park manages to pack in a variety of options for staying active or simply enjoying the outdoors. The layout thoughtfully balances open spaces with designated activity areas.

Need to stretch your legs a bit more? The park connects to the Conservatory West Trail, great for extending your walk or run beyond park boundaries. There's a generous grassy area ideal for tossing a frisbee or having an impromptu picnic. In the back section, you'll notice some natural Colorado grass - a nice nod to water conservation in our often-dry climate.

Family-Friendly Amenities

If you have kids in tow, the park features a compact but well-designed playground complete with swings and a tall slide that's sure to be a hit. Just keep an eye on the little ones - some of the equipment might be a bit challenging for toddlers to navigate on their own.

Planning to make a day of it? The park's picnic shelter provides welcome shade for lunch breaks and gatherings. There's also a handy grilling area near the gazebo, making this spot ideal for everything from casual family picnics to small celebrations with friends.
