The Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for over 2,100 acres of parks, trails, and open space. This includes the award-winning John Denver Sanctuary, the beloved Wagner Park in the heart of downtown, Cozy Point Ranch, Sky Mountain Park, and the state-of-the-art Skate Park to name a few. The city offers locals and visitors 30 parks and playgrounds, 22 miles of pedestrian/bicycle trails and over 90 kilometers of Nordic ski trails for them to enjoy.
Environment: With our stewardship of these areas we bring a strong commitment to protecting our environment through healthy forest practices and conservation. We want generations of locals and visitors to enjoy all that Aspen has to offer.
