Do you want to escape Denver’s crowds and have fun exploring?
The 400-acre Little Park was among Denver’s first 10 mountain parks. It sits just outside of Idledale and is home to a unique octagonal-roofed well house built in 1919. It is a great location for a serene day beside Bear Creek with fishing access along Bear Creek.
Starbuck Park is a small 11-acre parcel located just east of the town of Idledale. The park has a small well house but no other facilities.
