Planning a team practice, family gathering or party during the next few months? There are many great parks in Castle Pines available by reservation. The Castle Pines North Metro District manages Coyote Ridge, Daniel’s Gate, and The Retreat parks, while the City of Castle Pines manages the newest park, Elk Ridge.
