Bear Creek Canon Park is a lovely high-country park in Colorado Springs, located adjacent to the Bear Creek Regional Park and Nature Center facility.

The park was established as a result of land donations by Colorado Springs founder General William Jackson Palmer, as part of a donation of 1,270 acres of land that also established nearby parks such as Monument Valley Park, Palmer Park, and Pioneer Square Park. Visitors can explore the park's trail system on foot, on mountain bikes, or on horseback, though trailgoers should note that due to the park's elevation, trails can be steep and difficult to climb. Next door at Bear Creek Regional Park and Nature Center, visitors can explore natural exhibits, play on soccer, tennis, and basketball courts, or bring their four-legged friends to a designated dog park area.
