About the Location

Park Overview

Located in Aurora, Colorado, Highland Hollows Park spans 12.7 acres of green space away from the everyday hustle. You'll find this neighborhood park on S. Uravan St., with a nice mix of natural areas and recreational facilities.

The park's paved walking trails meander through the grounds, ideal for a casual evening stroll, walking your four-legged friend, or getting in some light exercise. We love how the mature trees cast cool shadows throughout the space, creating a tranquil atmosphere that makes you forget you're still in the city.

Recreational Facilities

Highland Hollows strikes a nice balance between open green spaces and dedicated activity areas. The basketball court is well-maintained and draws players of all skill levels - if you're looking to shoot some hoops solo or join a spontaneous pickup game.

If you have little ones in tow, the playground area is a definite highlight. It's particularly well-designed for toddlers and younger children, with equipment that's accessible enough for them to navigate independently while you watch from nearby.

One of the park's standout features is its set of four pickleball courts, which have become quite the hotspot for local enthusiasts. Regardless of whether you're just learning the game or have been playing for years, these dedicated courts provide an ideal setting for this increasingly popular sport.

For those who prefer volleyball, there's a sand volleyball court waiting for your next game. And don't overlook the expansive grassy areas - they're excellent for flying kites, tossing a frisbee, or letting your dog burn off some energy.

Amenities

The park doesn't skimp on comfort features. There's a covered gazebo that functions as a primary picnic spot, plus another covered seating area when the first is occupied. The grilling area makes Highland Hollows a natural choice for family cookouts or weekend gatherings with friends.

Nature calls? You'll come across portable toilets near the pickleball courts. While not the most glamorous amenity, they're conveniently placed and serve their purpose when you're planning to spend a few hours enjoying the park.

Management and Accessibility

Highland Hollows falls under the care of the City of Aurora's Parks, Recreation & Open Space Department, which does a solid job maintaining this community space.

The park shows thoughtful consideration for accessibility, featuring musical elements that add an interactive dimension everyone can enjoy. Many areas, especially those around the developed facilities, are wheelchair accessible, but some trails may present challenges depending on weather conditions.
