Highlands Ranch

Like other areas of Colorado, Highlands Ranch has plenty to offer when it comes to outdoor activities and things to do. The city has 26 parks, many of which include a space for off-leash dogs. The local Civic Green Park is a favorite with gorgeous trees, a playground, and beautiful gardens. It also has a rentable pavilion where up to 100 people can enjoy a picnic or event. Northridge Park and Fly’n B Park are also popular. There are more than 70 miles of trails in Highlands Ranch for running, biking or hiking. The community has also designated more than 2,500 acres of undeveloped land for exploring and 8,200 acres for conservation space in the Backcountry Wilderness Area.

You can sign up for activities in the Backcountry like camps, horse and nature programs, and archery. There are also opportunities for sporting activities like disc golf, pickleball, fishing ponds, skate parks, and slacklining. For golf enthusiasts, there are two 18-hole golf courses. If you love water sports, you can head to Chatfield Reservoir with your boat. There’s even a little, man-made beach that you can relax on.

Highlands Ranch is a Master Planned Community, with 4 recreation centers included in the quarterly Homeowners Association dues. It is a wonderful place to live.
