Coyote Ridge Park Improvements

CURRENT PROJECTS

During the November 12, 2024 City Council meeting, the Council approved the Phase 1 improvements to Coyote Ridge Park. Improvements were based on feedback collected during the 2024-2025 public engagement process about future park planning in Castle Pines. These improvements, estimated to cost nearly $4 million, focus on enhancements in three main areas:

    1. Accessibility and Mobility Improvements
      • Provide assessable walk connections to existing shade structures
      • Replacement of one picnic table under existing shade structure to be ADA compliant
      • Provide assessable walks between the north and south sides of the drainage between the playground and ballfield parking lot
      • Possibility of adding a plaza and pollinator garden
      • Addition of a new pedestrian connection to the community
      • Addition of bike racks adjacent to existing playgrounds and shade shelters
      • Provide improved maintenance access along the north side of the playground to the multipurpose field
    2. Playground Improvements
      • Replace existing play area equipment, creating an updated all-inclusive play area for all ages
      • Create age-separated play areas for 2–5-year-olds and 5–12-year-olds
      • Replace play area surfacing with more inclusive poured-in-play surfacing or synthetic turf
    3. Fencing at the Basketball Court
      • Provide fencing at the edge of the existing basketball court to minimize the balls going into the drainage area

City Council approved a professional services agreement with Hord Coplan Macht (HCM) for design services for the Phase 1 improvements during the February 11 City Council meeting. City staff will work with HCM to finalize the design drawings for the approved improvements.
