Beautiful park for toddlers and children. Sunny spot even on the colder days. Many regulars who are very respectful.

Its a fun park with lots to do. The reason its getting 3 stars is the homeless camp there, and they stumble around where the children are playing. Not comfortable.If you find my review helpful please click like.

The view of Pikes Peak here is unique! Nice park....the Santa Fe trail goes right to it...we biked all the way down from Palmer Lake -- great day!

Wanted to stop here on our trip to take my daughter. She had a blast once she saw it she just clapped. We had fun, you can see the mountains from here. But I will say beware there was a couple whom I believe was looking around for people to rob, or steal from etc looked like they had been there all day. Then when we were leaving we noticed there were some homeless people setting up camp. Just to make people aware. They may be harmless or they may not be. But if you watch your kids closely which you should be anyways youll be fine. Just be aware of your surroundings.

America the Beautiful park is always very neat and clean. Centrally located near downtown, OTC and the new Olympic Museum. Plenty of safe activities for the kids as well.(great view)

Kind of put off that the bathrooms are already on lock down even though the weather will be nice for weeks and really busy at the park. Not even a port a potty to use so our time was cut down because kids had to pee. Sad to have to leave just to usea bathroom.

This is a beautiful park. I only had a brief time to visit, but it was wonderful. I will plan a return visit to see more of the landmarks here.

This is such an interesting and fun park for children. With a beautiful path to walk and wide open grass to play. In my opinion the best in the city, tied with memorial.

Super windy today but loved the different play areas for different age groups

Excellent place to start bike ride up trails along Monument Creek. I rode North all the way to top of Cottonwood Creek trail and also out the Rio Grand trail into the Air Force Academy. Parking lot across the street from park always had some spots.

Amazing park. One of the largest, nicest playgrounds Ive ever seen. Though parents note there does seem to be some homeless people living near the river and hanging around the edge of the park.

Great place to come with the family and enjoy with them. Very relaxing and fun.

Its a nice and clean park. A little underwhelming for a place with the title america the beautiful park and fairly small

Great views and large park. The campground side of the park is beautifully done providing nice camp sites. Someone needs to clean up all the trash and litter. Mostly homeless living here.

Nice open space to walk around and a couple trails I didnt go a long ways went like halfway down a trail and turned around just didnt want to go to far away we were already tired. You get kind of a view of a river and go under a bridge. I thought there would be more to see but otherwise good for the kids to play at.

Kids love coming here and its a great view

Beautiful park and great trail to ride. Only one inconvenient...you will find a lot of homeless all around

Beautiful clean park. Deducted 1 start because there was a lady which didnt even look like an employee blowing her whistle yelling at toddlers to get off the base located under the circle structure that releases water. She doesnt have to tell at anyone. How about posting a sign that says not to stand on the base so everyone is aware and parents can let their kids know?

Park is well maintained. Play area is great for all ages. Fountain was not on at 11:30 AM on a week day in summer and huge homeless population at park.

Another great park for Colorado Springs! Its a big park with a water fountain kids can play in during the summer. Also, i have never seen a Jungle Jim like the one they have. I wish they made Jungle Jims like that when i was a kid.

Great place for family, young children or who wants to chill, Picnic etc. for children, bring sunblock during summer. Bring water toys, towel to dry when they go play at the fountain. Drink plenty of water and wear your shade, cap, hats during this hot summer in CO. Do bring an umbrella if you don’t like the sun. Ample parking space.

Clean and very well maintained. My four yr old daughters favorite park in the c.s. area. Weve been coming here since she was 9 months old.

Beautiful park. So much space family, friendly place.

Great family park in downtown Colorado Springs. Huge water feature/sculpture, attended by city employed lifeguards, where kids and adults can get there feet wet and cool down on a hot summer day. Nice grassy area to play frisbee or soccer or fly a kite. Great playground with a variety of activities and big toys for the kids to play on. Would definitely recommend America the Beautiful park to family, friends and visitors from out of town.

This park has been an excellent place to meet up with people and makes for a great workout space on a Saturday morning.

Just wish the fountain was going other than that no complaints. The kids loved playing in the shadow of a mountain

Only reason it is not 5 stars is because of the homeless presence. Cant have that around young kids at the park.

Beautiful spot near downtown Colorado Springs! Kids can play in the fountain and they have a great playground as well. Amazing view of the Mountains.

I love this place! Great location, beautiful scenery, and well kept.

Friendly hard-working people in and out fast

Decent little playground close to downtown.

Park was dirty and couldnt find any restrooms for the kids. I would suggest going elsewhere

Beautiful park! Lots of fun for kids!

BEAUTIFUL park!! So well kept and clean. Fun playground for kids and awesome splash/water feature area.

Great park! Lots for kids of all ages

I hope they find ways to limit the homeless in the area, but great park and the connection to the Olympic Museum should be amazing!

Lots of fun playground equipment for my child! Easy to find.

Relaxing fun environment for kids Id say 8+

Nice little place to go for walking your dog.

Good park and playground to bring the kids but sadly to many homeless bums hang out there

Love it. But the waterpark is closed all summer due to construction of the nearby pedestrian bridge.

Normally id give the place a good rating, but todays visit was absolutely disgusting. The play ground equipment is getting worn down. Soon metal wires on about a third of the equipment will be stabbing the unsuspecting kids. Next.. the trash. I mean wow. Did i go do a garbage dump or a park called America the Beautiful? The trash piled up is unbelievable. I dont know if the city is having issues, but this absolutely inexcusable. Besides finding trash mounded over every trash can and blown over the field and bushes... it seems to be going on for sometime as the homeless crowds have completely taken over certain areas. They feel so comfortable infact that they are lashing out and bulling park patrons (including children) they make it uncomfortable for folks passing through their homes/park exhibits with very negative energy and body language. Today i found drugs on the ground i disposed of, not just street drugs but pharmaceuticals, i also found used razors. I dont have a problem with the homeless. My issue is how government handles them. Its another story for another time, but if they are going to smoke on the play ground and be belligerent towards kids then it needs to be said. It needs to be handled. The community is increasing losing faith in its leaders so nobody comes forward and the issues dont go away... which makes violence, or hazards inevitable .If you have kids and you love them... please find a different place. Or be watchful, maybe bring something for defense.

Unfortunately while walking around the park, found needles on the floor, even homeless injecting themselves, not a comfortable place to visit with children.

Very clean ,love the trail,thanks USA !

Beautiful park right down town love to take the kids to play there.

You havent seen the park yet? gov take a look at the park

Clean park nice place to enjoy the outdoors.

Love this park, wonderful place to hang out. Picturesque view of Pikes Peak

Beautiful park with large grassy area. More beautiful when the fountain is running.

Extraordinarily beautiful, especially at dusk!

Unusual playground equipment, challenging and fun.

Cool park for kids.

When it first opened it was beautiful but theres a lot of trash in homeless people that you see it is sad

Just a great place to relax and enjoy and unwind. Lots of benches and a pavilion and trails and grass for picnics

Great large space for kids to run and play. Sort of in the middle of nowhere itself, but close enough to downtown proper that you could walk or at least not have to drive far.

The park is a nice rest stop along I-25 as well as a restful and reenergizing spot for a picnic or to read a good book under a tree. This circular sculpture is a beautiful piece.Clanton & Associates, Inc. worked to engineer the lighting design.

Great place for the kids to play and the adults to relax.

Great playground with equipment appropriate for all ages. Also has large grassy area for running around. Restrooms were pretty gross but functional, and the park could have been cleaner. We did see a bunch of rabbits so my kids spent some time bunny hunting.

Amazin, fun, and all around good time. Kids had a blast in the fountain and I was relieved to see someone working as a life gaurd if you will. She was keeping the kids off the slanted part of the fountain and I was glad to see her. Great park for a picnic, to play a little frisbee, or to just enjoy the view, let me tell you the view, Wow! Must see if your in the springs for just a short while.

Theres ALOT of shady people in the reservation pavilion by the kids park.

This park is large! Big playground, huge field, a water feature to play in during the warm season... Not to mention, a grand view of Americas Purple Mountain Majesty. Though I wish there werent so many homeless nearby.

Homeless people everywhere and park is dirty and dingy.

When they began building this landmark, the city sure made it sound exciting. And why shouldnt it be? Colorado Springs with another landmark within the town. Just more hype. This town is amazing and it deserves something special to promote it and symbolize our great city. Well, maybe we missed that when it was...

Excellent park fork kids.

Great challenging playground. Awesome for imagination too.

Adorable and fun little park! Love to come here for events or just to hang out.

Great down town park. Summer time wet and play place

Good parking, nice big field, and a cool monument!

Very nice park in Colorado Springs. We ran the Chasing Santa 5k here.

Neat little park.

Too many vagrants and vagabonds--wife didnt feel it was safe for us (wife + me + 2 year old) to play. Went there during the week at about noon-ish. Parking was on-street. At the end of the cul-de-sac was a sketchy-looking person changing their oil and a few other people in run-down vehicles. Park itself looks AMAZING and fun. . .but of course, if the wife dont feel safe. . .then. . =P.

It is a very pretty park. Fun place when things like pride fest are held there. Unfortunately its a hot spot for homeless. Well kept park considering.

This wasnt a fave fer me. Nice park for kids, but just kind of an open space. Lotta highway noise unfortunately. It would be great for a family picnic outing.

Beautiful park to visit. We can eat our lunch then the kids can play and on hot summer days a great place to cool off.

There are way to many homeless that have tooken over such a beautiful fun park. Its very sad!!!

Its a shame such a nice park is so overrun by homeless. Most of the benches south of the playground had someone living on it including the covered area. Only reason I gave an extra star is the playground seems to be pretty nice. Just keep an eye on your kids and dont let them stray to far from that area. Wont find me coming back to this park though.

Great play equipment, even for toddlers. However the homeless population that camps in their cars on the south edge of the park, in the park itself, and the resulting trash is really disappointing. Garbage everywhere.

Had my son celebration of life here.. beautiful park and beautiful view

Great park! Kids had a blast in the very cool and unique fountain. Playground had some very cool equipment too!

WARNING for children.I was driving my twins through Colorado Springs on my way home to TX. We found a park based on reviews from trip advisor and chose the park because it was one that did not mention problems with homeless people. Many other park reviews noted the high amount of homeless in the parks.After playing on the play scape and on the splash pad, we headed to our car. A man who appeared to be very excited at the sight of my 4 year old daughter in a bathing suit began yelling religious and sexual comments at us while I dried her off under a tree next to my car.I ignored him but after a minute or so I picked up my phone to call 911.The man calmly approached me still ranting sexual comments and calling me vulgar names and racial slurs (n word). We are all Caucasian by the way, even the man yelling.He said call the police, they won’t do anything. He pulled his hand out of a backpack and sprayed me in the face, arm and leg with some type of pepper spray. My daughter got sprayed in her face and on her arms. He calmly walked off and I was still shocked. Then the burning began and I could not see for several minutes.I reported this to the police and I’ve left town for Texas. This was a very disturbing incident where a man in a public park attacked us out of nowhere. Please note this to other park goers to be extremely cautious. This is a park full of children with no security presence and men sitting alone on the perimeter who appear to be transients. The man who did this was clean cut and referred to Jesus and the Bible multiple times. I just thought he was ranting, but he is a dangerous person with some fixation on children. Beware. My daughter was hysterical for two hours after this, and in pain until she went to bed at midnight in our hotel. I had no idea pepper spray was so powerful.Thanks

Our fav park in downtown CO. Springs, Colorado.

Great place to bring the grandkids and have some fun

It a beautiful park

In the Summer time the water attraction is amazing then it is just peaceful during the winter months

The actual playground looked like so much fun. So many interesting pieces Ive never seen before for kids to climb and use. The walking trails and open space were beautiful.

Took my 3 year old granddaughter she loves the playground soft rubber

Katharine Lee Bates got it right when she chose this area to write America The Beautiful. When you stand in this park looking at Pikes Peak it just leaves you in awe. I love the way the city has spruced up the park with cool tower lights at the entrance, and the big water rotating ring is awesome during summer time.

Great fun for kids

Kind of run down, parking is a little confusing and some scary homeless people.

Had a nice view of the mountains and the local factory stacks. There were a lot of families and small children playing as well as some unkempt folks sleeping and lounging in the pavilion. A sign seemed to indicate the available water was not potable (seemed to include the drinking fountain--wasnt sure, didnt want to try it). Also, my spouse informed me that the ladies restroom didnt have any doors on the stalls. No negative interactions, but the overall vibe of the park, given the name, was sadly ironic.

One of the most beautiful parks Ive had the pleasure of visiting, and I have nannied in 8 states!

Clean park, not overly crowded.

Good play area, not so great neighborhood

Great place to visit!!!

Cool park. Nice playground for smaller kids.

I love this park.. Its always been a fun spot to hang wi the family.. The only down fall.. Is ALWAYS the bathroomsjust nasty

The three points are for the equipment in the park. All the equipment were nice and clean. Don’t let your kids out of sight and please don’t look at your phone and don’t get distracted.You will see few homelesss people in the park

America the Beautiful park yet off and it is as they are Smoke Stacks, I just think that is kind of sitting for our country today

This park is really nice. We ended up here to attend a 5k/10k/half marathon and didn’t realize how nice the park actually was. We’ve driven past it so many times but glad we attended the race to actually go to the park and hang out.

Great park for family! Lots of grass area, little areas around the grass for kids to play on, like natural wood logs and rocks!Plenty of ADA parking too!
