Monument Valley Park is a National Register of Historic Places-listed recreational park in Colorado Springs, anchored along the banks of the picturesque Monument Creek, a tributary of nearby Fountain Creek.

The two-mile-long park, which is also listed on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties, defines Colorado Springs' western downtown border, located near Interstate 25 and the city's Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway. Its lands were originally donated by city founder General William Jackson Parker and were developed for public use between 1904 and 1907. A wide variety of beautiful public amenities are offered, including landscaped gardens, hiking and biking trails, sporting courts, children's playgrounds, and an arboretum that showcases native Colorado trees and shrubs. In the park's western recreation area, visitors can also make use of the city's first public swimming pool, open throughout the summer months. Each year, the park hosts the annual General Palmer Day in July and the mid-May Lilac Day event.
