Bott Park

An Intimate Space in Historic Old Colorado City

The land where Bott Park sits was originally a gold rush community dating back to the 1850s, long before Colorado Springs became what it is today. This 3.9-acre space in the heart of Old Colorado City carries that history quietly, offering a peaceful retreat with nice views.

It's the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself think - a quiet oasis that the locals particularly treasure.

Get Your Game On

If you're feeling active, the park's basketball and tennis courts are waiting for your best moves. Fair warning though - the basketball court sits on a slight slope, so you might find yourself chasing after runaway balls heading toward the street. Consider it built-in cardio!

Kid-Friendly Fun

Bringing the little ones? They're in for a treat with multiple play areas scattered within the park. The playground equipment hits all the favorites - a twisty spiral slide, challenging monkey bars, an intriguing tunnel, plus various ladders and steps that will keep kids of all ages happily occupied for hours.

Perfect for Gatherings

The park comes equipped with a picnic shelter and benches thoughtfully placed under shade trees - ideal for everything from family picnics to catching up with friends over lunch. The bear-proof trash containers are a practical touch that helps keep the park looking its best (and keeps the local wildlife looking elsewhere for snacks).

Even on Colorado's sunniest days, the generous canopy of mature trees creates cool, comfortable spaces to relax on the well-maintained lawn.
