Blodgett Peak Open Space is a scenic open space area in northwestern Colorado Springs, named in honor of the towering Blodgett Peak, which overlooks the park from nearby Peak National Forest.

The 167-acre park is densely forested with Ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, and scrub oak trees, gradually sloping upward in elevation from its eastern to its western areas. Its lands were formerly part of the pioneer-era Blodgett Ranch and have now become populated by a wide variety of native flora and fauna, including formerly-endangered peregrine falcons. Unique geological features in the region include the Rampart Range, the Fountain Formation, and areas of Pierre shale and Manitou limestone. A network of trails throughout the open space ranges in difficulty from easy to moderate, offering excellent panoramic views.
