Recreation and Leisure
It’s all about the great outdoors when you visit or live in Colorado and Aurora holds true to this tradition. The city’s trail system is comprised of a series of on-street bike-lanes and sidewalks and off-street trails. Miles of trails offer ample opportunity to stretch one’s legs, cruise on a bike and soak up the sun. For example, the Star K Ranch and Morrison Nature Center along the Sand Creek Greenway features over 200-acres of riding trails, nature hikes and workshops. An added bonus is its proximity to the Rocky Mountains which are less than an hour drive away.
If you are looking for a place to bring Fido and Butch then cruise over to the Grandview Dog Park where pooches run free at this 5-acre, off-leash canine haven located adjacent to Aurora’s Quincy Reservoir.
Golf anyone? The highest quality greens await golf enthusiasts at Aurora’s seven award-winning championship municipal golf courses.
With its proximity to Denver, sports fan have a variety of professional teams to support including the Denver Broncos (NFL), the Colorado Rapids (MLS), Denver Nuggets (NBA), the Colorado Mammoth (NLL), Colorado Rockies (ML), Colorado Crush (AFL), and the Colorado Avalanche (NHL).
