Outdoor recreation

Neighborhood trails connect walkers and bikers to the trail system of Star K Ranch, a 250-acre nature preserve just north of Norfolk Glen. “We have a lot of people who bring their dogs out on leashes and go for daily walks, and others who will come and do their own nature exploration with their kids,” explains David Footle, a Natural Resource Technician for Star K Ranch. The Morris Nature Center is an educational hotspot within the open space where people can learn about the local ecosystem and enjoy rotating exhibits. Footle continues, “The center was originally converted from a ranch house, and we’ve tried to maintain that cozy, homey feel for people.” For more outdoor recreation, locals can hop on the Colorado Front Range Trail to connect with the 71-mile High Line Canal Trail, popular among hikers and bikers. Aurora Sports Park is a few miles east in Kirkegaard Acres, with a dozen baseball diamonds and over 20 multi-use fields.
