About Pueblo West Online!
Pueblo
West is a covenant-controlled planned
housing development. The arid, rising
land northwest of Pueblo proper offers
views of Pikes Peak to the north and the
Spanish Peaks to the south. This growing
community, situated off U.S. 50, offers
a surprising amount of conveniences for
visitors. Pueblo West is bisected by
east-west U.S. highway 50- and its
eastern border is touched by north-south
Interstate Highway 25, which is the
major route to Colorado Springs and
Denver.
The
hub of the community is located at
McCullouch and Joe Martinez Boulevards,
where a civic center area houses a few
restaurants. In addition, there are
about a dozen lodging facilities ranging
from hotels to B&Bs in the greater
Pueblo area. Downtown Pueblo, just eight
miles east, offers a diverse mix of
eateries, a restored historic district,
a newly completed Riverwalk area, and
shopping districts.
With annexations, Pueblo West contains
about 26,000 acres of contiguous lands.
The community is also situated just
north of the Pueblo State Park, which is
a part of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Water
Project. The dam was constructed in 1975
by the United States Bureau of
Reclamation. The lake is used for
boating, swimming, sailing, and fishing.
Maintained campsites are also available,
in addition to miles of hiking and
biking trails, including a local
greenway that runs all the way to
downtown Pueblo.
Pueblo
West also has a wide variety of outdoor
activities. Approximately, 4600 acres
have been reserved for neighborhood
parks, playgrounds, and an open
greenbelt area. A heated swimming pool,
ball fields, shuffleboard courts,
horseshoe pits, a paved basketball
court, a sand volleyball court,
playground, lighted tennis courts,
picnic pavilion with stage, and barbeque
facilities. |
