Centennial Center Park opened as Centennial’s first City-owned park in 2012. This award-winning park is located at 13050 E. Peakview Avenue, west of the Centennial Civic Center, which houses City offices, Council Chambers, municipal court operations and the City’s passport office.

In addition to offering an array of world-class amenities, such as a splash pad and numerous gathering spaces, the park showcases Colorado’s heritage using natural elements and native plants.

Visitors, young and old alike, can test their Colorado trivia know-how on the “Colorado Statehood Walk” or learn points of interest both inside and outside the park on the interactive “Viewfinder Walk.”

The park also features a large amphitheater and stage, used for several City-hosted concerts throughout the year. The amphitheater, the park plaza and small and large shelter areas can be reserved for community and family gatherings.
