Review & FAQ:
Rock Park is a 62.3-acre public open space in Castle Rock, developed in sections between 1947 and 1991 with the addition of land parcels donated to the city from private settlements and business tracts.
In 1987, existing 24.4-acre and 3.6-acre tracts were joined together to create what is now Rock Park under the supervision of John Emerson and Paul Hill. The park, which is named in honor of a massive castle-esque rock discovered in 1859 in the area by gold prospector David Kellogg, offers a short but difficult hiking trail to the rock's apex, which offers sweeping views of the surrounding Rocky Mountain region. Visitors should note that trails are unpaved and wear appropriate footwear during climbs.
General-use and reservable picnic pavilions are offered at the site, along with picnic tables and public restrooms. Well-behaved dogs are permitted at the park on leashes.
