Green Spaces and Room to Roam 

Painted Prairie’s award-winning landscape architecture offers a unique interconnected park system that’s not commonly found anywhere along the Front Range. Community gardens, orchards, wide open spaces, play areas, and other points of interest illuminate the historical and cultural significance of the prairie in Colorado’s story. 

It was important to Painted Prairie’s developers to install the parks before building homes allowing the landscape to take root early for residents to enjoy as soon as they moved into the neighborhood. Pocket parks dot the community offering natural play and gathering spaces steps away from your front door. All parks and trails lead to the stunning 22-acre High Prairie Park where residents are greeted by over 150 continuous miles of sweeping mountain vistas, along with Denver’s signature skyline.
