Douglas County has parks for everyone, whether it be local and regional, or for your four-legged friend, and a mountain bike skills park for all skill levels to improve their craft and have a little fun doing it.

The Towns of Castle Rock, Larkspur and Parker each maintain their own municipal parks. Other parks are maintained by the Highlands Ranch and the City and County of Denver which maintains Daniels Park.
There’s Castlewood Canyon, Chatfield and Roxborough State Parks, and the million-acre Pike National Forest.
Local parks tend to be between five and 20 acres in size and serve neighborhood and community needs. Generally, these parks include picnic areas, multi-purpose playfields, playground areas and more specialized amenities, such as sand volleyball or hard-surfaced courts.
