Slash Collection Day

"Slash" is debris from nature, such as tree limbs, prunings, and pine needles. If not removed, slash can increase potential fire hazards on your property. Removing slash and creating defensible space around your home is the first line of defense against wildfires. To help you mitigate wildfire danger on your property, the City of Castle Pines is hosting a free slash collection event. Bring any tree limbs, prunings, pine needles, or other yard debris to Elk Ridge Park's parking lot for free disposal on Saturday, September 27 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. as a part of the City's slash collection event.

If not removed, slash can add to potential fire hazards on your property. Mitigating and preparing your property for wildfire is important. All vegetation is allowed, but please limit the diameter of trunks or limbs to less than 16 inches. No lumber is allowed, and please ensure there is no metal (nails, screws, etc.) or rocks in the materials you drop off.

Drive-In Movie Night

Gather your family, friends, and neighbors for a night of nostalgia, where classic drive-in fun meets modern-day cinema at an unforgettable evening under the stars at our Drive-In Movie Night!

Our featured film will be Moana 2.

Location: Future Soaring Hawk Park (east of the Canyonside Boulevard and Cross Canyon Trail intersection in The Canyons.)

Parking opens at 5:30 p.m.; movie starts at 7 p.m.

Advanced tickets are no longer available for purchase. If you'd like to attend, please bring $10 cash per vehicle for entry.

Eastbound Castle Pines Parkway lanes scheduled to open on August 1

July 30, 2025 at 11:41 am

Earlier this week, single-lane traffic opened on eastbound Castle Pines Parkway between Forest Park Drive and Monarch Boulevard. Crews are currently working to complete lane striping, and all travel lanes are now scheduled to open by the end of the day on Friday, August 1! Temporary single-lane closures will occur periodically as crews complete final project items, including sidewalk installation and landscape restoration. However, traffic lanes will remain open in both directions.

Project improvements include:

  • 3,000 feet of full roadway reconstruction from Forest Park Drive to Monarch Boulevard
  • Safety enhancements
  • Stormwater infrastructure improvements
  • Installation of a six-foot sidewalk on the southern portion of Castle Pines Parkway

Thank you for your patience this summer as we worked to reconstruct the City's aging roadway infrastructure on this portion of Castle Pines Parkway.
