Review initial concepts and provide input on potential future parks and recreation amenities

March 7, 2024 at 1:25 pm

As Castle Pines continues to grow, so does the need for great parks and recreation spaces around the community. In June 2023, the City began the process of developing two park master plans. This process will develop a master plan for future amenities, including:

  • An update and expansion of Coyote Ridge Park, including the land acquired at the southwestern portion of the park that was formerly owned by the Douglas County School District.
  • A new park on the east side of the city, known as Soaring Hawk Park.

This planning process is intended to incorporate the needs of the entire community so that everyone can play a part in the design of our local parks. Resident feedback was gathered in August 2023 via two open houses, a booth at Party in the Park, and an online survey.

It's now time to refine that feedback. An in-person meeting was held on March 5. If you were unable to attend, you can complete an online survey where you can view a variety of initial concepts and provide input about amenity options.

The survey will remain open until March 20. After the survey closes, the City's park design consultant will review the results from the in-person meeting and online survey and partner with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to refine the concepts. A final master plan for each park will be presented to City Council for approval later this year.

Visit the Park Planning webpage to learn more about the planning process or to review the results from the first round of resident feedback.

Monarch Boulevard reconstruction begins March 17

March 6, 2024 at 12:53 pm

The project requires the closure of Monarch Boulevard between Castle Pines Parkway and Glen Oaks Avenue.

The City is excited to announce the beginning of the 2024 Monarch Boulevard reconstruction project, a key component of the 2024 Road Solutions initiative. This comprehensive project, stretching from Castle Pines Parkway to Glen Oaks Avenue, marks a significant investment in our community's infrastructure. It will enhance safety, increase traffic efficiency, and improve overall quality of life in Castle Pines.

What to Expect

  • Starting March 17, 2024, Monarch Boulevard will be closed to through traffic, between Castle Pines Parkway and Glen Oaks Avenue, to allow for the efficient completion of this project. The project is anticipated to be completed by September 2024. This closure will ensure the safety of both workers and the traveling public. We have established clear detour routes to minimize inconvenience. Please visit the project webpage to view project details and a map of the Phase One detour.
  • The project will be completed in two phases. Phase One will begin on March 17, and Phase Two will begin once Phase One is completed. We will update the community as the project progresses.
  • Homes within the road closure area will remain accessible. To access homes within the closure area from Castle Pines Parkway, traffic will be directed to Buffalo Trail and then south on Monarch Boulevard during Phase One. This access will be exclusively for traffic to and from homes within the closure area as well as emergency services.
