This park is open daily to the public dusk till dawn. The historic buildings can only be accessed through scheduled tours, however.

Need to Know

This is just five minutes from the Aurora Municipal Center and the CentreTech Campus.

Description

The trail starts at a collection of historic houses and continues on over a bridge that crosses West Toll Gate Creek before continuing on past a round barn. Next, pass by a functioning Denver Urban Gardens test site on the left, and a cottonwood forest peppered by black-tailed prairie dog mounds. Fittingly, red-tailed hawks can be seen soaring above this wide-open expanse that continue on toward the restored schoolhouse. Finally, reach 1st Avenue at the turnaround point at the end of the route.

Flora & Fauna

One can expect to see cottonwood trees to the east near the creek while a small prairie ecosystem exists to the west that butts up against the farm site. Most notably, prairie dogs and red-tailed hawks can be found along and above the trail with other birds perched in the branches of the trees to the east.
