With community support … anything is possible

It’s no secret that Butterfield Crossing Park, nestled in the heart of The Meadows, is one of the most beloved parks in Castle Rock. For more than three decades, the park h as been home to countless swim lessons, youth sports practices and community events. Now fully renovated, the park is ready for a new generation of visitors to discover its boundless possibilities.

New basketball and pickleball courts, enhanced gathering spaces and shade structures, new walking paths and trail connections, and an outdoor fitness course — with elements specially chosen through input from older adults in our community — are just a few of the features residents requested that are ready for you to explore.

Everyone — and we mean everyone — is invited to experience the crown jewel of Butterfield Crossing Park, the fully inclusive Possibilities Playground. Designed for people of all ages and abilities, when you visit this playground, the accessible equipment, sensory-rich play areas and interactive features will inspire exploration and social interaction. One of only a handful of fully inclusive playgrounds along the Front Range, it is poised to become a favorite spot where friends and family of all ages and abilities can play, be challenged and have fun together. During planning, our community envisioned a new kind of park that would be a unique and special place where all feel included. Through partnerships with Meadows Metropolitan District No. 1 and the Castle Rock Parks and Trails Foundation, the Town was able to achieve this vision for the park. Grassroots contributions from a wide range of community members raised much of the $1.3 million needed to fund adaptive and inclusive play equipment to bring Possibilities Playground to life.
