Palmer Park

One of the most gorgeous parks in The Springs. The playground is nice, but the hiking trails are stunning. It’s a great place for the whole family to get out into nature without leaving the city. There are 25 miles of trails around the park. Easy to moderate for hiking, biking and running.

A very tranquil park. The thing I liked most about this park was the lack of people and the quietness. I did the Templeton trail which has a superb view of Pikes Peak, the incline and Garden of the Gods, all in one photo. For being an inner city park, it is huge. I will be returning to this park to try out some of the other trails. Plenty of unique rock formations to picnic on and enjoy the mountain view.

Beautiful and impressive place for hiking. There are many trails to choose and the park is huge, so definitely everyone will find something fitting - easy, medium or a bit harder trail. Rock formations are not so big like in Garden of the Gods, but for nature lovers surely great because of variety of shapes. Even experienced hiker will be busy for few days to be able to say that he saw everything. For me it's the best park in Colorado Springs.

This place is a hidden gem. We just moved here and never imagine a park with such great views and hike paths in the middle of the city. We took our 6 and 8 year old through the Great View Trail and Cheyenne Trail and they had no problem with. Each hike path has visual markers identifying what it's suited for such as hiking or mountain biking. Plenty of places for great photo ops. Multiple places to park for free all around the park.

Whenever I need to get away and don't want to drive far, I drive to the top of Palmer park to free my mind. Been here for most my life and this is still the place to go. Great little hike trails, great playground and nice dog park too. The sunrises are my favorite😁
