Great Open Space area in Aurora, Colorado, with a pond and trails through old Cottonwood Trees where many urban wildlife live and on the City Bike and Trail System.

A little bit of Heaven in the middle of the city. Parking is available. Beautiful, peaceful area to walk.

Nice place to walk around and sometimes see wild life. There are some homeless persons living in the interior and people dont always pick up after themselves.

Spring is a beautiful time to take a walk around the park and see some nature.

Very peaceful place to walk around and a lot of people fish in the pond on site.

Great place for nature experience/immersion. I take my boys for walks here, the little lake has lots of fish and turtles, we often find garter snakes as well. The paths are fairly short. Its a good place for a nice walk. The only thing to know is there are no picnic areas with limited benches, but theres not much reason to need to sit while youre here

Nice quiet not too busy. A piece of open space inside the city

Been around this area since I was 10. Im 23 now and usually can always enjoy a nice walk by myslef or with my dogs and girlfriend and either find something new or just enjoy some peaceful nature time

Amazing place to walk and park for a Pokemon stop!

Im a photographer so I shoot here sometimes its definitely a beautiful place

Such a beautiful park. Birdwatching, short trails etc (peregrine falcons, waterbirds) with a sweet connection to Utah Park.

This place has potential... However, over the years I believe that it has been neglected. The pond used to be relatively clean, and now it is covered with algae and moss which makes it stink. The main trails are clear, but the side and dirt trails are overgrown. It is a wetland, so of course there are tons of bugs but wasnt that bad. Like I said, this place has potential but the creeks and pond need some TLC. Regardless, had a decent time here today with my kiddos. Caught some crawfish, some Sunfish and saw several turtles.

This Pond is SO fun too fish at. I catch and release. Today July 5, 2020 I caught and released one of the big Largemouth Bass in the pond

The only bad part of this park is not even the mosquitos. Its the little dog poop baggies everywhere. Ruins it for me. So gross. People should be more responsible.

Beautiful and a nice walk around the park for families.

An absolutely wonderful park to walk, fish, jog or sit in. Its beautiful year round and there are always smiling faces walking about. Its a popular dog walking spot too, so lots of social opportunity for furry friends.

Really pretty park to visit. Nice place to walk around. The lake gets frozen in the winter and is cool to watch. There are shops nearby.

Fun little pond to fish at and nice walkways to explore.

I love this open space. Its a nifty little area to take your dog for a walk. The pond has fishing and is a great place to get some quite time and solitude in an otherwise hectic city.

Great place to walk yourself or a pup. I saw turtles and ducks. Great trails.

Not too many ppl

Cool little trail easy hike.

I have enjoyed this area for many years. Very tranquil.

What a nice park. Had fun walking through it.

Nice trail. Good scenery.

Lovely place. Some fish and turtles in the pond, and this lovely wild flower. Good paths to walk around and enjoy the outdoors.

A place to take a walk,.perfect for a picnic too

Nice outdoor area to stroll while enjoying the sound of birds, spot deer or coyotes, fish if you like. Best time to go is at sunrise or set and you can enjoy the Rockie Mountain skies.

Actually has some FishSmall mouth bassCARPlittle blue finsBut Overfished

Its nice and quiet here, very peaceful.

Cute for picnics, lots of itty bitty trails

Nice little quiet place.

Beautiful place with short trails to walk. Good starting trail for kids.

Great place to take young kids fishing. Mostly little bluegill there are some Bass but they are scarce. An occasional turtle might hit your line. Please catch and release so others might enjoy the same experience.

Nice place for a relaxing walk! Our dogs loved it.

Great piece of nature. Beautiful, and in the summer if you have bug spray, youre good to go. Beautiful. For those who read places based on energy, there is definitely something incredibly old and magical to it. Sometimes you can find people practicing magic rituals there. People go fishing, dog walking, and in the summer theres a beautiful garden on the Northside

Its a pretty nice place once you verge into the actual wetland. People fish in the small pond, which also contains turtles as well. Only this is its by a high school which it kinda falls victim to pollution like inside the land youll find trash.

Very peaceful and relaxing with the sound of various animals!

Although it is usually a peaceful get away in the city, lately, i have to search for syringes so my kids dont find them.

Adorable pond with turtles, dragonflies, ducks (with ducklings!), and bass over a foot long, multiple gravel paths leading around the pond, and around/into the wetlands. 4-stars because there were so many liquor mini bottles everywhere. I filled a poop bag with bottles but I wasnt able to carry many..I look forward to coming back here in the winter to walk the wetlands in the snow.

Surprisingly pleasant walk in mid-May. Safe for taking kids and has some areas of shade- always welcome respite from the relentless sun. There’s a concrete path loop and a gravel path with several grass worn deviations to “explore” with young kids.

Nice nature trail

Having grown up in thos area and seeing this park change over a few decades it still provides a needed escape from the coty when the country isnt a feasible trip. Love the park however the local highschool kids seem to trash it up quite a bit.

Enjoyed a nice blanket party with my special person up in the tall grass

Bring real shoes, not sandals or any open toe due to broken glass, or sharp sticks, lots of thistles, and occasionally snakes. Possibly even long pants. Maybe bug spray. Lots of mosquito bites and yellow jackets. We were eaten to bits by mosquitoes. Its sad there are so many invasive plant species taking over the natural plant life. This place known as a make out or spot for other activities, so if you dont mind seeing people in various states of lovemaking or other questionable activities I think its a great place for a walk, lots of shade.

Not the best natural area Ive been to but definitely a good one for a quick stroll. Small pond and didnt see a lot of wildlife. There is quite a bit of trash in the area from Im guessing homeless people or just a**holes.

New concrete walkways and seating area is a nice inprovement.

Great walk and a chance to see fauna you normally dont see.

Beautiful place to get away but its quite dried up

Great place to see wild cyotes and fresh air and smell of plants, plenty scenery

Nice place for a short walk or to sit on a bench and just hang out. Smooth trail a d board walk is wheel chair accessible.

Very scenic and well kept. What people you come across on the trails are polite. Many people were walking their dogs, and no piles droppings were seen

So peaceful you forget youre in middle of city.

Its nice but needs more trees and grades parking lot. Not well kept at rest room area. I guess it has to be further South to be kept better.

Great park nice and quiet

Kind of small. But pretty.

Great people nice water Banks and weed grows wild their

So pretty

An amazing spot of wilderness in the middle of the city! We loved the trails. Good for quiet all alone time. Peaceful. ️

Love this place and you can see a array of different birds.

Beautiful and quiet. Do not change this place one bit!!

Good fishing spot for lil ones beginning to fish

My dog had fun chasing grasshoppers. Be sure to wear bug spray.

A lot of quiet areas here to get away and exercise

Beautiful with a large pond with neighborhood fishermen now and then. Plenty of space and little hide a spots and trails

Its a cool place to visit

It’s very delightful

Beautiful place full of active wildlife and charm.

One of my favorite neighborhood walks. Short, kid friendly, usable all year, still able to go and have some fun off the trails without any fear of getting lost.

Great place to take the dogs on leash only, but a lot of different trails.

Great spot

Nice park in the middle of aurora. Mostly open space not much for the kids. Parking available on the south side across from the brandy chase apts. Lots of cool birds and wildlife.

A wildlife area in the heart of Suburbia !

Great area for the family and dog to roam.

Nice place

Nice

Ive been going there off and on since I was a kid, long before it was an officially sanctioned Wilderness area. Its a good place to get back to Nature while still in the middle of the city

Dogs favorite walk. Careful, coyotes at dusk.

Natural wetlands park in the suburbs. Trails are wide enough for walkers and bicyclists to share. Ive seen people fishing in the pond but dont know if there are fish.

Wear your bug spray! There are tons of mosquitoes, I realize this is due to it being a wet land but I was not prepared to be eaten alive. This was not as big as I thought it was, but it was worth checking out. Dont think Ill be back though.

Come here once a week at least with my pup. Great place to go for a quick walk

Cool park, great walking trail and cool pond to look at if you wanna see turtles , crawdads, birds, and little fish. Not much shade tho, so better to go early in the morning.

No matter what time of year, this place is fun. Perfect for photographers as well. The sunrise and sunset through the trees is fantastic.

Beautiful place to walk your dogs or take a stroll. Little pond to walk around and a small wooded area as well.

Very nice. Its wonderful to have a safe area for wild animals to be safe.

This is a great place to take walks.

It is a beautiful location. Very calming.

Its a great place for a walk. Nature instead of traffic. YES!

Great escape in the middle off the city. Needs to be better taken care of.

A bit neglected but its a nice little slice of nature in the city. Wish the local law enforcement would keep motorized vehicles out of it though.

There are signs warning about the coyotes. That was a buzz kill. Further up the trail there is a little reservoire. The park is basically a big ass drainage ditch filled with scrub, deer and coyotes.

A pond and some woodland.

Rustic lot of places to walk kind of cool.

Nice

Great park. Different trails snake around and eventually connect to one another with an exception of a few. Lots of trees in the center. I usually walk my dog here and she loves it. The only down side is, in the open area with no trees, there can be lots of thorns that can get stuck in paws. I had to pull out quite a few when my dog wanted to go in the open area (off the sidewalk or dirt path). The wooded area doesnt seem to have any though.

Only for pros

Fun place to walk around and attempt to get lost in! No complaints.

Walked the doggies.

Quaint little tuck in the machine. I dig the trees n stuff, ya know

My cat Mr. Lynx was seen in the wetlands area appropriately 6 days ago. He is full breed Maine coon, very loveable, I need him home. Yellowish orange, summer lion cut growing out. I live at Liberty Creek apts..
