Fountain Creek Regional Park — Attraction in Fountain

There are countless trails throughout CO Springs and the neighboring areas, but living in Fountain we wanted something closer to explore. We first walked this trail with a homeschool group, and have been back several times since then. We enjoy the easy hiking and the wide trails, along with access to the water and the mountain views. However, every time we have been here there is TONS of trash in many areas. There are obvious party ares where people have gathered and then left it a mess. The trash on the grounds is disheartening enough, but there's also quite a bit of trash in the river and on the river bank. Most of what we've seen has been there every time we visit, so I know it's not new. It just seems as though the trail could use some care, and perhaps even supervision (which I know can be hard). The trash is a major turnoff for us, but we do our best to overlook it and enjoy nature. It's clear that the water there is contaminated; always oily looking with trash floating around in it. So overall, I do recommend this place for an easy hike, but if you're looking for a place to get in the water, I'd suggest another trail with...

We love taking our dogs on walks and to the dog park here. For the most part the community picks up after themselves. We have had issues with other people's dogs a few times in the past.

Past the dog park is plenty of hiking spots down by the river that are a lot calmer and frankly better than the dog...

Great little area to hang out and fish. There's a playground for the kids to play on. There are gazeebos for get together. There is a trail to walk or run and areas to fish. There are restrooms but they're about as clean as you can expect at a park. We've seen a lot of really fat squirrels there too 😂😂😂 Someone's definitely feeding those suckers. They're pretty plump.and happy looking and if you're not careful they'll actually sneak right up on you when you least expect it. There are sometimes some sketchy people hanging out there especially in the wooded area near the overpass but we have never had any issues. Lots of kids...
