Programs and activities at Meadows Park Community Center

There are several hiking trails, mountains and outdoor spaces to the west, including the Broadmoor Seven Falls, scenic waterfalls and geologic monuments with a pathway through the mountains. Anderson says the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is also a major nearby attraction. Closer to home is Meadows Park, the local park with green space, a playground and baseball diamonds. The Meadows Park Community Center is a go-to area for recreation programs and services. Anderson says the center is a prominent point in the neighborhood and for connecting the community.High marks for The Vanguard School

Bring a car to Stratton Meadows
Stratton Meadows is a primarily car-dependent neighborhood with very few public transportation options. "Everything is to spread out; you are not going to walk," Rhein says. The neighborhood is about three miles from downtown Colorado Springs along South Nevada Avenue. Nine miles to the east is the Colorado Springs Airport, and a few miles to the west, locals will find natural terrain and several outdoor activities. "It is a great central location close to downtown and entertainment activities," Anderson says.Go shopping at the Nevada Corridor
Stratton Meadows neighborhood puts homes at the forefront, leaving very few shops and eateries in the area, but it does offer some convenience. “There is a lack of options in the neighborhood itself, but it is only five minutes from the Nevada Corridor,” Anderson says. Nevada Avenue borders the neighborhood to the west, and the popular thoroughfare includes big-name retailers like Home Depot, Ross and several others at Broadmoor Towne Center shopping mall. Mexico Real Family serves Mexican cuisine, like fajitas and enchiladas, where they emphasize their Mexican seasoning. Happy Eats Pasta offers a variety of pastas with complimenting sauces made from scratch. Safeway sits on the other side of Nevada Ave, with several chain restaurants and fast-food joints, like Red Robin, IHOP and Chipotle, lining the corridor.
