Outdoor recreation includes pickleball, hiking and swimming

Maintained by the homeowners association, Smoky Hill is home to multiple parks. Big Sandy Park, with its lush meadows and age-old spruce trees, is a sanctuary for kids and adults, where the songs of hummingbirds fill the air. Nearby Crestline Park’s walking trails provide the perfect ambiance for morning jogs and evening strolls amongst the distant Rocky Mountain landscape. In the heart of the neighborhood is the Smoky Hill clubhouse and pool, exclusive to HOA residents, where kids splash around in the sun-drenched pool while sports lovers can strike up a game of pickleball or hockey on the courts. “Most of Centennial is a great spot to raise a family due to its amenities and proximity to outdoor recreation,” Dodd says. Nearby Cherry Creek State Park is a significant draw to the area, where the 880 acre reservoir, bustling with boaters, bikers and hikers, serves as its centerpiece. With about 35 miles of trails winding through grasslands and gently rolling hills, it’s a popular spot to explore on the weekend or camp under the stars.

There are plenty of trails and walkways to enjoy at Big Sandy Park.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
