Note: There are technically two parks in the same area, this one is accessed from Apache Plume Rd and the other is accessed from Snowberry Way across the Cherry Creek river.
The park on the west bank of the river is the larger one and includes some nice, new amenities:
- An small open basketball court
- A fenced in basketball court with a full length court and two small courts
- Two baseball fields with backstops
- Movable soccer nets
- A Volleyball court
- A kids playground set
- A couple covered picnic tables
- A "deluxe" Port-a-Potty
And they recently paved the entrance and extended the parking lot to accommodate more cars.
The smaller Cottonwood Park East has one of the coolest things in town - a large walled-in roller hockey rink, with bleachers! Kind of like the one at Discovery park along Lincoln. It also has:
- A baseball field with a backstop
- Three covered picnic tables
- A small maze for the little ones to figure out
- Plenty of parking
- A "deluxe" Port-a-Potty
They say the parks are only for the people who belong to the Prairie Meadows HOA, but I don't think we have the money in the budget for the park police...
These parks are great places to come hang out, do some grilling, take a stroll along the Cherry Creek Trail, or if you get permission, hold a company picnic. The trail meanders through both parks and has some of the best scenery the river has to offer. They're quite, not crowded at all and very clean. read more
