Remington Park

Park Overview

Tucked just east of Peterson Road in Colorado Springs, Remington Park is a cozy 4.7-acre green space that is the neighborhood's outdoor living room. This public park sits right next to Remington Elementary School, creating an excellent recreational spot for local families looking to enjoy some fresh air without venturing far from home.

It's nothing fancy, but that's part of its charm - a well-kept local park with the basics for a pleasant afternoon outdoors.

Features and Amenities

The park offers a nice blend of open grassy areas and paved pathways that make it accessible for everyone, whether you're pushing a stroller or using a mobility device. You can find benches strategically placed along the walking paths when you need a moment to rest, and trash cans are available so there's no excuse for littering.

There's a single picnic table nestled under a shady tree - meant for an impromptu lunch or snack break, but you might want to arrive early to claim it on busy days.

Recreation Opportunities

The heart of Remington Park is its playground area with thoughtfully designed equipment for kids of all ages. There are two separate jungle gyms - a smaller one where the little ones can play safely and a more challenging setup for older kids - both set in a sand base.

The playground boasts slides and swings, including special swings for babies and toddlers, plus various climbing structures that will keep the kids entertained. The equipment is relatively new and in good shape, but be prepared for the inevitable sand that might come home in shoes and pockets.

Sports Facilities

If you're feeling energetic, the basketball court is ready for a quick game or some solo practice with your jump shot. The generous open field works perfectly for impromptu soccer matches, frisbee tossing, or just running around.

For those who prefer more structured exercise, a paved walking path loops around the park, offering a smooth surface for your morning jog or evening stroll. It's well-maintained and just the right length for a casual walk with your four-legged friend or a few laps to get your steps in.

Community Use

This park functions as a neighborhood gathering spot, where families connect and kids make new friends. It's dog-friendly, so feel free to bring your pup along - just remember to bring bags for cleanup.

One thing to note: there are no public restrooms here, so plan accordingly. If the kids still have energy to burn after exploring everything Remington has to offer, the elementary school next door has additional playground equipment that's open to the public outside of school hours - a nice bonus for families looking to extend their outdoor time.
