Future Park Site Selection Council Recommendation


Beautiful parks and well-planned trails are part of what make Castle Rock a great place to call home. That's why the Parks and Recreation Department presented a recommendation to Town Council to select the next site for neighborhood park development.
Meadows Filing 18 Lot 2

Based on staff analysis and public input, the department selected Meadows Filing 18 Lot 2 for development. The Meadows Filing 18 site is located adjacent to Aspen View Academy Charter School, west of the the Low Meadow Boulevard and Red Hawk Drive intersection. Of the sites under consideration, this one has the largest surrounding population. In addition, because the Town  will only be able to develop roughly five to eight acres of parkland with an allotted $2 million budget, the small site makes it the best fit for the available funding. 

Construction will begin in 2018. Public input will be sought during the design process in the first half of the year.
