Each year, visitors flock to Summit County for some of the most scenic sites in the state. Did you know you can catch some of those views at its local parks? Here’s what each town has to offer:

Breckenridge

Start your park tour in Breckenridge with Carter Park & Pavilion (300 S. High St.). It’s one of the area’s most popular parks because of its many amenities, including areas to play sand volleyball, pickleball, tennis and more.

Looking to hop on your board? Then try out Breckenridge Skate Park (880 Airport Road). There are features for all skill levels.

One of Breckenridge’s newest recreation areas is River Park and Playground (482 Floradora Drive), which has an “artfully designed” play area for kids ages 5-12.

Another excellent play area is Kingdom Park (800 Airport Road). It’s got two playgrounds for the kids — and a whitewater kayak zone for the adults — plus it’s close to the Breckenridge Tennis Center.

Before you leave the area, don’t forget to stop by High Line Railroad Park Playground (189 Boreas Pass Road). Adjacent to the High Line Railroad Museum, the park and its counterpart boasts plenty of history and entertainment. Located on the site is a Colorado & Southern train engine and boxcars.
