We loved Gemstone Park! HIGHLIGHTS: - Swings! (Including baby swings) - Basketball and Tennis Court - Picnic Tables & Benches - A large canopy for shade This park is very well maintained. The grass was freshly mowed and I didn't find any litter. The playground itself is accessible for toddlers. The child I nanny is 19 months and she had a blast. There were slides for her size and I went down the bigger slides with her. There are prairie dogs just a short walk down the path. You can hear them squeaking from the park, but they tend to hide if you get too close.

I had the opportunity to visit this park recently. I pass by it often in my travels around Castle…read moreRock. This has become my favorite park in Castle Rock to get my daily steps in. I love the various paved trails throughout the park. I believe it's 4 miles round trip. What I also love about the park is that there is another park directly across the street from the Meadows Blvd entrance. Castle Rock is a fantastic community for walking trails. I also love that this park isn't crowded with too many people. It's actually deceiving as you're passing the Meadows Blvd entrance because the park doesn't look like much. However, if you park and get out of your car to start walking trails, there is so much beauty that begins to unfold. As you venture towards the opposite side of the park there are pickle ball courts, tennis courts, basketball courts, two tiny baseball fields, a large swimming pool and children's playground. There is plenty of open space to venture out onto the grass to play your favorite activity with family or friends. Recently, I saw about 3-4 people using a small trampoline and a ball to play a game on the grass. I absolutely love seeing citizens enjoying their local park. Across from the pool entrance there are public restrooms. I used the men's restroom on a recent trip and was impressed that it was kept fairly clean. It wasn't trashed or dirty. Opposite from the Meadows Blvd park entrance is a medium sized parking lot. I've never seen the parking lot full when visiting lately. I also believe that you must reserve any of the courts in the park. Fact check this. Again, plan accordingly. I've seen the Pickle Ball courts full during every trip to the park lately. You can always check the park website for court usage or call the local parks and recreation department in Castle Rock. I hope that you enjoy your visit to this beautiful park! I know that I will continue to enjoy my usage of it. Always look forward to getting my steps in when traveling through it!

A few years ago Parker kids didn't have many places to skate, mostly we skated random stair sets…read moreand vacant lots, but every once and a while we would go to the old skatepark behind the recreation center. Needless to say Parker's old skatepark was TERRIBLE! There were a few banks with huge cracks at the bottom, and a box in the middle of the park that was burned down several times. Also the place wasn't safe, there was one instance of a kid getting beat with a baseball bat, and I'm pretty sure I saw some sort of drug deal go down there when i was 10 or 11. But, finally in 2008 Parker decided to upgrade their skate scene to get those trouble makers off the streets. Boy! Did they succeed! There is so much I can say, so I'll just start out with, This skatepark kicks ass. It's got a little bowl for the youngsters, a big bowl, good flow, sick stairs and rails, ledges galore, Bob's Hot Dog's, and plenty of flat land so you can perfect your flippy tricks. Bottom line, hurry over to this skatepark as soon as you can so you can shred it up :) Helpful tip: If you are going to hit the ledges make sure they aren't too slippery, you know how the kiddos love to wax them up hardcore.
