Cherry Creek State Park
Cherry Creek Marina 

Welcome to Denver’s natural and spacious backyard playground.  There’s so much to see and enjoy.  Summers are busy and action packed while off-peak times are quiet and laid back.

 

Anchored around a 880 surface acre reservoir, the park offers a natural prairie environment of gentle, rolling hills and complete outdoor recreation facilities, including camping, picnicking and facilities for group events.  
 
Close and convenient, Cherry Creek is Denver’s big back yard.

Unique activities
Park capacity

There’s more to Cherry Creek than traditional park activities.  Hard-to-find and unique activities like model airplane flying, horseback riding and a family shooting range are available too. Check out our activities page for more information.
This popular park often reaches capacity on summer weekends.  Off-peak periods like weekdays, before or after work, early spring or late fall, are a less crowded and provide a quieter experience.  Winter months are a tranquil treat for hikers and nature lovers.
