Are dogs allowed at Central Park?
Yes, dogs are welcome but must remain on a leash at all times. If you want to let your dog run free, you will need to visit one of the four designated off-leash dog parks in Highlands Ranch (like Rover's Run or Digger's). Please ensure you clean up after your pet!

The shade shelters, however, are not available for reservations. Keep in mind that any group larger than five people for an organized activity requires a park permit through the Highlands Ranch Metro District.

Central Park is unique because it features dedicated Slackline Poles! Slacklining is only allowed on these specific poles and never on trees, buildings, fences, or light poles.

Are there interactive features for kids?
Absolutely! Central Park is fantastic for kids. It features a unique Maze Garden with Interactive Chimes, a Tower Plaza with Amphitheater Seating Walls, and fun table tennis and cornhole boards. It's much more than just an open grass field!
