Parks and Open Space

Nearly 30% of Stapleton is reserved for parks and open space

Parks and open space define many of Denver's great neighborhoods. Washington Park, Cheesman Park, Congress Park, City Park and many others are grand public spaces that are part of Denver's legacy. Stapleton will build on that tradition devoting nearly 30% of its 4,700 acres to parks and open space, increasing the size of the Denver Park system by more than 25%.

The centerpiece of Stapleton's 1,116-acre regional park system is the 80-acre "Central Park", the third largest park in the city. Bikeways and paths, similar to those found along Denver's Cherry Creek grace Stapleton's Sand Creek and Westerly Creek Greenways. On Stapleton's northern border, the community's extensive bike and trail system will link into the 17,000-acre Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
