ROCK PARK

ROCK PARK FEATURES CASTLE ROCK'S NAMESAKE. THE ROCK IS SITUATED ON 60 ACRES THAT INCLUDES PICNIC SHELTER WITH TABLES, WALKING TRAILS ALSO PARKING IS AVAILABLE.

THE TRAIL THAT WINDS UP THE SIDE OF THE ROCK IS A MODERATE TO EASY TRAIL, BUT WITH ANY HIKE MAKE SURE YOU WEAR APPROPRIATE CLOTHING FOR THE CLIMATE, AND ALWAYS BRING A WATER BOTTLE TO DRINK. ONCE YOU GET TO THE END OF THE TRAIL, AND AT THE BASE OF THE ROCK YOU WILL FIND A BENCH TO REST. EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU NEED A REST THE VIEW FROM THE BASE OF THE ROCK IS GREAT. TO GET TO ROCK PARK FROM CASTLE ROCK, TURN EAST OFF WILCOX STREET ONTO COLORADO 86, GO OVER THE RAILROAD TRACKS AND RIGHT AWAY GO NORTH ON HIGHSCHOOL ROAD TO PARK ENTRANCE.

IF YOU REALLY FEEL ADVENTUROUS, IT IS STILL POSSIBLE TO HIKE TO THE TOP OF CASTLE ROCK. THE HIKE IS NOT VERY DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES NO SPECIAL SKILLS, BUT EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED. THERE ARE NO RAILINGS ONCE ON TOP, BUT THE VIEW IS SPECTACULAR.
