3 Best Public Parks in Aspen, CO

Aspen has over 30 world-class parks, from modest ones with benches and playgrounds to more than 1,300-acre ones with wide-open spaces, trails, water streams and breathtaking mountain views. These are fantastic venues for picnics, festivals, weddings, and other outdoor events.

The Rio Grande Park

Aspen’s largest public park, the Rio Grande Park, runs along the river and includes a 2.1-mile trail, as well as an appealing skate park, a big athletic field, outdoor basketball courts and even an art museum. It is also home to the John Denver Sanctuary, a beautiful wildflower garden on the banks of the river.

Wagner Park

Another impressive and popular park in Aspen is the iconic Wagner Park, at the heart of Aspen’s downtown core. Many major special events take place in it throughout the year, including the famous Aspen Food and Wine Classic. It is not available for rent, but its extraordinary views and pedestrian walking mall make it a great attraction.

Koch Park

A semi-large park located just west of the downtown core is Koch Park, a well-liked venue with a large lawn that is also home to the only free public sand volleyball courts in Aspen that host birthday parties, tournaments, and other events.
