The City was awarded a grant from the Federal Highway Administration to complete a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. This plan will include roads, sidewalks, crossings, and mobility infrastructure. The project team will look at safety data, public input, and future growth to identify strategies that will help improve safety for all who travel around Castle Pines by car, on foot, by bike, or with an assistive device. The City will also use the Plan to seek additional grant funding for future projects to help create safer streets.

To help with this effort, we are seeking input from residents via an online survey. Your input will help shape the development of the Plan and other future efforts. Visit the Safe Streets for All Comprehensive Action Plan webpage for more information.

Wondering what development is happening around Castle Pines? To help residents stay informed about new commercial and residential development projects occurring around Castle Pines, the City has launched an online Development Activity Map.

The map displays all private land use projects for which formal applications have been submitted to the City. This includes commercial, residential, parks, civic, and other project types. Sometimes a private landowner may submit an application for a project and later choose to not construct the project.

If you like to play disc golf, get ready to tee off at a new 18-hole course in Castle Pines.

Together, the City of Castle Pines City Council and Douglas County Board of County Commissioners officially opened Pronghorn Park and Disc Golf Course on Thursday, Aug. 3. The park is located near Hess Road and Cross Canyon Trail in Castle Pines.

“I’m thrilled to officially open Pronghorn Park and Disc Golf Course as the newest park amenity in Castle Pines,” said Castle Pines Mayor Tracy Engerman. “The course will be a great attraction for both the city and the rest of Douglas County.”

The project was completed as a partnership between the City of Castle Pines and Douglas County. Douglas County contributed $300,000 in funding toward the construction of the park and its amenities.

“We do our best work when we work together, and, today, that includes Douglas County voters,” said Commissioner George Teal. “Funding for the county’s portion of this new park and disc golf course came from the voter-approved Parks and Open Space Sales Tax. We’re so grateful for this funding and for partnerships with our neighboring communities, like the City of Castle Pines.”

The park features an 18-hole disc golf course, walking and biking trails, a sheltered picnic area, and sweeping views of Castle Pines and the Rueter-Hess Reservoir. The park is located at 7707 Disc Park Street in Castle Pines and is open from dawn to dusk. No reservations are required to play disc golf.
