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 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.
