This park has quit a lot of acreage full of luscious scenery! Verdant greenery, luscious & thick the golf course like grasses cover the acreage. The shrubbery is well maintained and some of the paths go along the waterway. Many people walk dogs, bike, picnic,hike, and enjoy the nature in the city proper!! Love birds chirp all day long & lovers still hand in hand in amicable silence observing nature’s exquisite ways. For instance: the sound of growing greenery, animals communicating with their kind, and the sights are indescribably perfect!

Its a nice quiet place to walk around and see the flowers and wildlife.

This is a classic, creakside, CCP park. Long trails up and down the creek for walking, running, and cycling. Large trees a lovely demonstration garden.There are pickleball courts an outdoor pool, duck pond another formal garden and a grove.

Its a nice little area to walk around. There are alot of homeless that hang around the creek but they leave you alone. Theres is a beautiful little garden area with a gnome house and a cute pond.

Peaceful. Pretty gardens. The Y Pool. A little pond and the creek. A nice place to walk.

A fair amount of people were there enjoying a nice day. The pool had less people in it to provide for social distancing. People were observed following the CDC guidelines. I had a pleasant meal with a friend at the covered picnic area. People seemed happy to be there. Nice to see Colorado Springs residents enjoying a city provided resource.

Beautiful park with a ton to offer. Seasonal public restrooms, pool, playground, sidewalk trail, gravel trails, lots of plush grass, pickleball courts, gardens, pond(s) with duck/geese, baseball/softball field.

Beautiful park with plenty of amenities. The pool is nice too. The pickleball crowd is plentiful and intense so the parking lot tends to always be full. The picnic shelters can sometimes be a gathering spot for the homeless. The walking/running trail is nice. The park is well-maintained.

It soooooooooo beautiful to see, also if you do go make sure to be prepared, it is dusty so even tho it is hot loge pants are good.

Peaceful walk among the trees and birds. Tennis court is pretty cool to use to.

The pickleball court and playground here are top notch. Access in and out requires a little walking but a beautiful walk it is. Lots of shaded areas and trees and even though its right by the highway, its not loud at all.

Nice park. Its big. Its got trains.

Great trail for long runs! Overall, the trail has, 1) easy access points throughout the city, 2) safe trail ways with businesses and residences close, so youre not too isolated, 3) while not too isolated, you still get the benefit of feeling off on a trail, not inhaling exhaust fumes , 4) river views

Beautiful sandstone formations that are very close to town. The trails are all well kept and the rock climbing is sure to be attractive for amateur and serious climbers alike!

This used to be a favorite, but it has gone down hill and desperately needs management. The 2nd pond is bone dry and the primary pond is very murky and algae filled. It used to be the most beautiful city park in the Springs.

The grass is soft and the shade is plentiful. Its a well taken care of park that is perfect for picnicking or just hanging with friends at. I took a nap in the shade in a hammock and woke up feeling rejuvenated.

Beautiful serene atmosphere where you might see beautiful women, geese, and squirrels.

A nice park to spend a couple of hours, walk, rest and play in the playground. The lake with the ducks is relaxing. The riverside could have more work, but its a nice sight.

Scenic park located just off of Colorado Springs Old North End offers shade and sun, mountain views, running/biking/hiking trails, a couple of kids playgrounds, creek access, and connections for miles to the north and south via Santa Fe Trail system.

Lots of open space lots of private pavilions pond with ducks and geese and, nice flower garden several different individual parks for kids lots of open space for get togethers

Love walking by creek with views. I appreciate cyclists who warn you that theyre coming from behind and not startle walkers.

Very nice historical park in very near downtown COS. We just found a quiet spot, laid out a couple of blankets in partial shade, put some music on the Bluetooth speaker and had a nice 3-4 hour visit. I would rate it five-stars but since its located within rock throwing distance to I-25, it has a LOT of loud noise pollution. The 25 tall concrete wall sound barriers arent as effective as I thought they may be. None the less,we plan on going back soon.

Play some very beautiful but no place to get me water to drink

Not from Co Spgs, so I dont know alot of places, yet we ran into this park and i have to admit it is a hidden treasure. We come here at least 4 times a month now

I was married here but am scared to walk near dark or in the dark due to proximity to the creek & unpleasant people Ive been approached by. Ive been scared for my life more than once here.

We tried out the pickleball courts - great facility, lots of fun!

Its a really nice park, but beware...there are a lot of people camping out around the park.

Great park we took some great pictures here. There are homeless living in it.

Plant name signs had been rearrangedSome plants I wanted to know had no signs. Peaceful and pretty ... but some weeds.

Besides the homeless scattered throughout, this is actually a pretty neat place for biking or hiking! We went all the way up and around the creek (pretty, by the way) did a little off-roading just playing around and hit almost 6miles, easy. On the main trail and off the beaten path, my app said a little over 130ft elevation I think but you dont really notice, this is a very easy and rather level trek. Be careful, some of these bikers are literally flying through, and again, some homeless and other wanderers are around all over. One guy felt the need to hit on me and Im grateful it was light out and my husband wasnt too far behind me.

My absolute favorite Park in Colorado Springs. The walking trail is extensive. Unless there is a event going on in the park, there is usually plenty of free parking available. It is a very Lively Park with people enjoying the Pavilion, the pickleball courts, the softball field, the Rose Garden, the pool and the ponds. The easiest way to get to it from I-25 is take the Uintah exit go right and turn right again at the first light which is Glen Drive. You will pass one of the ponds theres a little Bend in the road it straightens out and then you hit the parking lot close to the pickleball courts. If the parking lot is full of, there is plenty of parking close to the railroad tracks or over by the Fine Arts Center which is across the bridge over the creek.

This a big beautiful park. However, there have been issues with dangerous people here. So play it safe and make plans to keep yourself safe at the park.

Beautiful park! We went to play pickleball and there were lots of free courts that were either immaculately maintained or new. Very nice!

Its a really lovely and historical park with many different features and over 4 miles of trail!

Such a great place for a walk, to feed the ducks, check out the gargen, play tennis or basketball, swim, or just play on the playground. As a kid I loved coming here! We always called it the train park because of the trains that run parallel to it. It was noiser back then as well because there wasnt a sound wall up between the park and the interstate, which is on the other side of the train tracks. I visited the park recently after many years and enjoyed a long walk on the trails and perusing the garden.

Great place for a picnic. Pack it in pack it out.

Nice park and nearby botanic gardens, but the homeless population/panhandling can impact the experience.

Cool park right off the trail

Best park in the city large trees are over a 150 years old

Love this little hidden oasis, good for family fun, adventurous exploration, and intimate walks.

Beautiful large old trees, well kept. Large park with activites for all.

An amazing park. Beautiful trees and great Pickleball facility.

Gorgeous park. Really enjoyed visiting here. Great spot for photos too and walking around!

Beautiful park along Fountain Creek with trails, playgrounds, lots of natural beauty to explore!

From the manicured grass growing along the Running Trails to the beautiful Pikes Peak Mountain Views...Monument Valley Park is one of my FAVORITE parks in Colorado Springs, Colorado!!

This is a really nice park, I enjoy going here and relaxing. A great place for a picnic, playing frisbee, tennis, baseball or catch, and other outdoor recreation as well. They also have a botanical area, with a lot of plants with plant descriptions and names.

I have loved this. Park since I was little its awesome has running trail and exercise things and great kid part

A very nice urban park. We through down a couple of blankets and had a picnic lunch here. The only thing that was sort of negative was the noise pollution coming over the 25 concrete walls separating the park and I-25.

Beautiful plenty of life but there is quite a bit of trash around the park. Started picking other peoples trash up it was so bad but other than that. Its the good ole monument valley i grew up with.

Great pavilion for 40 people to gather by reservation!

What a wonderful park in the heart of Colorado Springs... bike, hike, swim, play tennis... enjoy the wildlife.

Nice gardens and paths to explore. Several degrees cooler here in Summer due to the trees, water and grass.

Very quiet little spot to sit and relax well kept area

Way to many homeless people dosent feel safe

Always enjoy the vast variety at Monument Valley Park! The history and natural beauty is amazing and you cant beat the Pikes Peak Greenway trail passing through all of it along with the cross-over path for I-25. One of our favorite parks in Colorado Springs!

My daughter enjoyed this park very much. I felt comfortable here. Nice little area.

Love this place but.. the algae in the pond is horrible

Great place to go have a picnic and still be able to socially distance in downtown.

Pretty and calming. Love the flowers, animals and sights you see here.

Great place to relax or do some jogging!

Thought there would be rock formations here, but it just a park with a stream going through.

Love this beautiful park. Plenty of space, green grass and room to roam!

An amazing linear park along a river. Gracious main building dated 1907 & the grand tree in front of it must be the same age. Jogging trail if youre in a hurry, our stroll through a string of beautiful gardens of many scales and types. Sport courts at the far end.

Homeless city on the south end and more scattered throughout the park. A bit dirty and rundown with limited free parking.

We had a great time at the pool until the lightning. A little swim test too!

Beautiful park and walking trail. Dont miss the flower gardens.

Absolutely beautiful. Loved the views and nature.

Ive been going to this park for over 45 years and really like so many things about it, its really well kept and clean, we like to watch people playing at the tennis courts (but its not tennis something called pickle ball I think) we love to take our puppy for walks on the trails. The play ground for the little kids looks really fun! The pool still looks fun just like it was 45 years ago.

I really enjoy walking down the trails, the pond always has hungry ducks and beautiful views. Just have to be wary of the homeless.

Great Park. Lots of trails to explore.

Clean. Beautiful! Friendly people

Theres different parts to this park and each is different than the other.

My cousin had their wedding there. Very nice

I always enjoy walking this stretch with my dogs. Lots of room and good people watching. The park is well maintained; but as always the indigent population seems to have claimed a portion as their own.

Its beautiful and calming

This place is an oldie but a goodie. Its busy but has lots to offer for all ages.

Very nice park overall. Great playground equipment, a basketball court, several pickleball courts as well. Also a few covered pavillion areas. Restroom accommodations as well.

Great for walks, runs and Bike riding.

Who are this Group? I like the Colorado have this kind of program! Job job! Colorado

Pickleball heaven! I play every Saturday and love the group that comes out. This is the place to play in Colorado Springs.

The park itself is gorgeous with 5 star views. However, every thing else.... Horrible! Theres a $20 Entry Fee but not a cent of it is being used to maintain the road. Our car was a 4-wheel drive, made for places like this and we still struggled on certain parts of the roads. Theres no organization, so its just cars going everywhere, no one respecting the one-way roads and accidents waiting to happen. Often, youll see signs pointing you down a road with the words Do not enter on them. Why are you pointing us that way then? Anyways, we get through the loop (Can be done in 45 minutes, took us 2 hours) and then that was it. No places to hike, stop, eat lunch or walk. Nowhere to learn about the plants, birds, history or culture. It was a real shock to go from any National Park to that. We ended our trip at the Visitor Center, which actually has the best views, but a parking lot is in the way..... please, just charge us a higher fee and fix your roads! Get some organization in there, utilize the park more. As much as I love it there, I will not recommend it to anyone due to these reasons.

Not sure I would call this a park really. Its a grassy spot with plenty of shade, some benches, and a hiking/bike trail. Your dogs are welcome but please remember to clean up after them due to how many people actually visit the area.

Natural beauty.

It is peaceful mostly, even during tourist time sometimes.. off season is WAY more pleasant as it is not as big as some of our other State Parks.. the fee is reasonable. Has trails, fishing, camping not far, restroom, gazebo.. nice spot!

This park is massive, there are parts of it I still havent seen and Ive been a regular visitor for the past 5 years. Lots of trash from the homeless recently, mostly in the wooded areas. Lots of alcohol and glass bottles littered throughout, but generally safe.

Gorgeous day for a picnic at the pavilion. Parking is sparse in the lot, but on-road parking across the creek is plentiful. Enjoy a walk or bike ride. Bring the kids.

Great for a walk with the dog, jog, or outdoor yoga, taking photos and painting. Beautiful and serene with breathtaking views, and quiet. Loved it!

My daughter practices here and has cross country meets here. It is a beautiful park. I just wish there were more parking spaces

The best part of the park, I think, is between Boulder St and Uintah St. Just past the swimming pool is a large playground and 2 gazebos available for use by reservation. Theres a serene, fragrant garden with a variety of flowers and artistic pieces. Further North, going towards Uintah St, theres a pond full of ducks and geese. Its also an excellent location for photographs, evident by the consistent number wedding photographers seen there daily. That being said, the Southern side of the park, between Platte Ave and Bijou St. is inhabited by many of the homeless people who enjoy hanging out there because they dont have anywhere else to be. Homeless people are harmless and not to be feared in general because they keep to themselves. Its best to visit during daylight hours because its very hard to see the trail after dusk.

It was packed with people who werent wearing masks!!

Beautiful park to walk around

This park is a hidden gem! We have been here with Mountain Tots twice, once in June and once in November, and we thoroughly enjoyed both visits. It’s just an absolutely beautiful place all around. In the Spring and Summer there is a vegetable garden on one side and an amazing flower garden with a gazebo and arbor of roses on the other. Well done!

Excellent pickleball courts and surrounding facilities...can be very busy at times.

Was doing the Alzheimers Walk as it took us through Monument Valley Park. Was surprised to see the park looking so nice clean. Used to go there when I was a little girl with my grandmother, at that time there was kiddie pool plus the big pool and the pond

This yet another park that is part of my heart and soul.What is PERFECT for me, it that by encircling the pond a simple few times, I get a mile or two under my belt. This could significantly help me with bettering my health.Its close to GREAT weather and I WANT to return. That being said, Im honestly hesitant to go back...Here is WHY:Im enraged that FULL SIZE plastic trash cans are floating next to baby ducklings and baby geese.I know for a fact that beavers, turtles, even storks and a variety of birds make this nook, home.It breaks my heart every time I see these generations of animals floating IN AND AROUND OUR discarded trash.When I used to go daily, Id bring a trash bag with me and help as much as one person can by picking up the trash.Please clean up for our EARTH FRIENDS.

LARGE park. Lots of trails, some dirt along the creek, some paved. Tennis courts in one part. Parking lot in the middle. A very outdoorsy area for being in the city. One of the best places for outdoor fun in the Springs, besides GotG and Palmer Park.

Had a great time at the pool! The pool was clean and perfect! It started to get a little crowded around 2 p.m. but we had been there since it opened at 10am, so we felt like we definitely got our moneys worth!

We just had my daughters 10th birthday, an Enchanted Forest birthday. The heritage gardens were perfect for face painting and cake and we did a fun scavenger hunt in the demonsration garden. Beautiful, hidden treasure in the city.

Been going here 30 yrs. Nice park.

This park is so big that it is SO FUN to explore. The only downside is the homeless that like to come through. I’ve never had a bad experience. You can plan a picnic and stay all day.
