About J.J. Raigoza Park
A Slice of Pueblo's Outdoors
Tucked away in Pueblo, Colorado, J.J. Raigoza Park offers 7.5 acres of green space where you can stretch your legs and breathe some fresh air. Yes, you'll hear the hum of the interstate nearby, but many locals still visit this spacious park for outdoor relaxation and community activities.
What You'll Find Here
Kids can burn off energy on the playground equipment that's kept in good shape and passes the neighborhood parent safety check. If you're into more traditional pastimes, the horseshoe pits offer a chance to test your aim while enjoying some friendly competition.
Scattered around the grounds are several picnic tables where you can enjoy a packed lunch or casual get-together. Just be aware that some tables occasionally sport unwanted artistic additions in the form of graffiti. The Parks and Recreation team does a solid job keeping the grass trimmed and trash collected, maintaining the park's welcoming feel.
