There is still plenty of good weather coming this season for you and your family to see Prickly Pear Park “up close and personal”! 

Enjoy a stroll around Prickly Pear Creek, marvel at the Elkhorn Mountains, or watch for migrating birds in the wetlands. The slag pile south of the park is the last sign that this valley was an industrial site for over a century. Today, the wetlands, creek, and aspen grove provide abundant wildlife habitat. Beavers, sandhill cranes, moose, and deer are frequent visitors.
