Tollgate Crossing Park

Park Overview

Nestled at the corner of East Belleview Avenue and East Bellewood Drive, Tollgate Crossing Park spreads across 6.4 acres of green space in Aurora's Tollgate Crossing community. This neighborhood green is a casual hangout spot for locals looking to enjoy some outdoor time close to home.

The park came to life as part of the broader Tollgate Crossing development plan, with the simple goal of giving residents easy access to green space and outdoor fun. It's a welcome addition to one of Aurora's newer residential areas, where outdoor amenities are especially appreciated.

Features and Amenities

Tollgate Crossing Park balances active recreation areas with quieter spots to just sit back and unwind.

What really sets this park apart is its Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course - a challenging playground that appeals to older kids and adults alike. It's worth noting that this equipment is the first of its kind in a public park in the Denver metro area, making it a pretty special find.

Playground and Recreation

Kids flock to the well-designed playground area, where the mini zip line tends to steal the show. Of course, you'll also find the classics - slides and climbing structures that keep the little ones entertained for hours. The swing sets accommodate children of various ages, ensuring everyone gets a turn.

Another hit with the school-aged crowd is the Gaga ball pit, offering a fun, active game option that's easy to learn but hard to master. There are also generous open grassy areas across the park for tossing a football or frisbee around.

Community Spaces

Need a spot for a family picnic? The park's covered picnic areas provide welcome shade on sunny Colorado days. These well-maintained spaces make for comfortable spots to enjoy a meal or simply take a breather.

One of the park's unique features is its mini amphitheater - a charming venue excellent for small community gatherings. This thoughtful addition helps strengthen neighborhood bonds, offering a natural space for everything from informal performances to community meetings.
