Chaucer Park is within walking distance wherever you are in the neighborhood and features benches and a playground for kids. Woodbourne Community Pool is also a splash to dive in during summer. Meadows Golf Club is a public 18-hole course in the Rocky Mountain foothills, and residents have been teeing up there since 1984. It’s right across South Simms Street, which borders the neighborhood’s north side. Amy Bassett, a 9-year real estate agent with Colorado Home Realty, mentions, “Meadows allows good access to the mountains for skiing or hiking. It’s got all the outdoor adventure you're looking for in Colorado.” Ski enthusiasts can take a day trip and drive 35 miles west to slide through the snow at Echo Mountain Ski Resort. Numerous walking trails are also available in neighboring Ken Caryl, Sanctuary Park and Christensen Meadows Park.
