Acacia Park is a charming 3.7-acre community green space in Colorado Springs, originally donated to the city in 1871 by city founder General William Jackson Palmer, becoming the city's first public park. The delightful park offers family-friendly amenities such as day-use picnic sites, a children's playground, and a seasonal summer fountain and splash pad area.

Throughout the summer months, the park's Play in the Park program lets visitors check out giant games for play, including giant Connect Four and Jenga, cornhole, bowling, bocce, and shuffleboard. Shaded areas offer a respite from the heat, providing spectacular views of the city's downtown skyline. Throughout the winter months, the park is home to a seasonal ice skating rink. The park's HUB Visitors Center is open to the public between May and September, while its reservable bandshell presents periodic public concerts and performances.
