Two parks are located in the Plum Creek neighborhood, which include a small park on the south end of the development that has been owned and operated by the Town of Castle Rock since the early 1990’s and a 7-acre park developed in the same timeframe that was recently acquired from the Plum Creek Golf Course. Both parks are in disrepair and require improvement.

The Town park located on the south end of the development was constructed on property identified as a potential future Douglas County School Site; however, the site has been used for park purposes for over 20-years and is owned by the Town. The existing playground, concrete flatwork and site furniture requires replacement. There may be opportunities to include additional amenities or trails on the property, but the Town will want to limit scope to some degree in the event the School District chooses to exercise their option to develop a school on the property.

The Plum Creek Golf Course operated a community pool, tennis courts and playground on the central Plum Creek Park site. The pool has not been operational for over seven years and initial assessments by staff indicate that the pool is not salvageable. The Town does not anticipate reconstructing and operating this pool and it is assumed that most existing improvements will require demolition. The Town anticipates considerable interest in site planning for both properties, but especially for the central park site.
