Lake Pueblo, rated a fishing “hot spot,”
provides 4,500 surface acres of water,
60 miles of shoreline and almost 10,000
acres of land. Along with the sunny
days and a mild climate, visitors
quickly learn that one day is
not enough.
Full service marinas and a diversity of
campsites welcome guests to stay
awhile. Water recreation includes
sailing, motor-boating, waterskiing,
river tubing and prime fishing. Boaters
choose from two full-service marinas and
boat ramps.
Land recreation includes hiking, biking,
picnicking and diverse nature
exploration. Miles of trails make it
easy to discover the beauty of the shady
Arkansas River below the dam or the
wonder of 200-year-old Juniper trees.
Wet or dry activities culminate with
camping options that encourage a day of
play to become a mini-vacation.
Views of the Greenhorn and Wet mountain
ranges to the southwest and the
magnificent Pikes Peak to the north are
a splendid way to end the day. It is no
wonder that Lake Pueblo State Park is a
favorite destination.
Parks and Recreation Department of
Pueblo West
The Pueblo West Parks and Recreation
Department has been in existence since
1972. The District currently offers the
community a wide variety of programs.
They range from youth and adult sports,
summer programs, to educational classes
for all ages. Some of the more popular
classes we offer are dance, swimming
lessons, children’s art camp, and tennis
lessons.
Besides the programs and activities,
Pueblo West itself features a wide
variety of outdoor activities.
Approximately 4,600 acres have been
reserved for equestrian trails,
neighborhood parks, playgrounds and open
greenbelt areas. Based upon current land
utilization studies, the natural terrain
of Pueblo West will accommodate about 65
miles of equestrian trails.
The Pueblo West Parks and Recreation
has developed several locations over the
years to fit the needs of the residents.
The Recreation building
located at 230 E. George Drive has an
area of 1.75 acres. The facility
includes a meeting room (60 capacity),
kitchen and restrooms, a basketball
court south of the building, and a
landscaped area for family picnics. The
facility is used for some special
events, group gatherings, and is also
rented out to the public seven days a
week when available.
Lovell Park,
located at 362 Hahns Peak Avenue is our
community park, which encompasses 21
acres. It was dedicated in 1976, and
named for one of the early community
leaders. This park has a developed
playground located between the park and
the Pueblo West Elementary School, a
heated outdoor swimming pool, three ball
fields (softball, baseball), three
soccer fields, a basketball court,
horseshoe pits, a covered pavilion area
with a stage (which may be rented),
restroom facilities and a parking area.
In the park you will find the Parks and
Recreation Administrative Office which
is open Monday – Friday, 7:00 a.m. until
4:30 p.m.
Pixie Park
is a playground park that was completed
in 1977. It is located at 355 E. Byrd
Drive and has an area of 6.7 acres. It
also has picnic areas, a drinking
fountain and upgraded playground
equipment.
Golden Guardian
Cultural Park, located at 230
S. McCulloch Boulevard, has an area of
12 acres. This area, sponsored by the
Pueblo West Business Association, and
the many businesses and citizens of
Pueblo West, was dedicated in 1990 for
the purpose of craft and art shows,
tourist attraction and for the enjoyment
of the residents in Pueblo West. The
landscaping includes a fountain,
benches, greenery, and a lighted area
for the flagpoles and the bronze eagle
sculpture, which represents the Pueblo
West Motto of, “Where Eagles Soar.” In
addition, the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Post 5812 have a dedicated memorial to
all veterans which includes flags
representing the five branches of the
military service and the P.O.W. / M.I.A.
flag.
There is also a 2.3 mile trail that runs
west of McCulloch Boulevard, starting at
Joe Martinez going south to Sweetwater.
It is both Asphalt and crusher fine
material. On Civic Center Drive, there
are four tennis courts available to the
public. We have completed the Fishing
for Fun project which is located at the
pond near the golf course. This will be
open to the disabled as well as children
15 and under. |
