Cherry Creek Ecological Park

This is a great place if you are into learning about nature and the ecology of the local area. Many different forms of flora and fauna can be observed and studied along with just coming here and having a nice walk or bike ride. There are many different paths that follow the creek and other water features. This park is easily accessible by car with a large parking lot with seasonal restrooms or by walking or biking the Cherry Creek Trail. Great fun for all ages.

Nice little park, just off Parker. Good for a quick little walk, lose yourself and get away from prying eyes. You can literally disappear from the city, and enjoy some privacy. The stone benches are very cool, and the waterfalls are very relaxing. You would never know there are apartments or shops just a stone throw away. My only criticism is it could be bigger. You can access it by car, foot or bike. It is right off the Cherry Creek bike trail.

Not the best eco-park I've been to, but awesome nonetheless. It's kind of small, but there's info on the history of the area and the local flora/fauna. Great for birding in the right seasons.
