This is a good spot for taking pictures, feeding ducks, or walking your dog. There's always people, but it usually isn't crowded. It stays pretty clean here and I've never seen homeless people when I've been here.

Wonderful place, I just wish it was safer. Too many shootings.

This park which includes Prospect Lake has it all! Basketball Courts, Fishing, Hiking Trails, Picnic Tables, Playground, Pool - Indoor, Soccer Field(s), Tennis Court(s). Also has a beautiful Memorial to all Service men and women. Beautiful views of the mountain including Pikes Peak. There are alot of geese here and their droppings are everywhere. The park is home to many events including Labor Day Lift Off which was this past weekend.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I want to see the hot air balloons ascend on Labor day weekend but don't want to go in the park. Is there some good spot in nearby area that is perfect for this?

Jing Huang | Jan 31, 2020
Jeff Granger | Feb 1, 2020

In general, the closer you are, the better the view. You can see them fine up to two miles. Downtown tends to have buildings block the view, other than that, you can see pretty well and take pictures in any of the parking lots on Pikes Peak or Printer's Pkwy.

People are supposed to swim in the designated area at the bath house, but I have seen people and dogs swim on the south west side of the lake all the time. Police walk the loop . I have never seen them stop them even though there are no swimming signs posted.
