Bear Creek Regional Park and Nature Center is a lively regional park in Colorado Springs that is located on the site of a former pioneer-era residential poor farm, which cultivated gardens to provide food for area residents.

Guided and self-guided hikes are offered at the park throughout the year, with interpretive signs along the park's paths offering information about native flora and fauna. At the park's Bear Creek Terrace and Bear Creek East areas, visitors can make use of day-use picnic sites, sporting courts, children's playgrounds, and an archery range. A 24-acre dog park area is also offered, which includes a three-quarter-mile loop trail for hiking with four-legged friends.
