Cherry Creek State Park, State park with reservoir in Aurora, Colorado.
Cherry Creek State Park extends across 4,200 acres of meadows and wetlands, featuring an 880-acre reservoir surrounded by natural grassland prairies.
The park originated in 1959 after the construction of Cherry Creek Dam, which was built to control flooding and provide water resources for the region.
The park maintains 35 miles of trails where visitors participate in activities ranging from horseback riding to cross-country skiing throughout different seasons.
The park entrance costs 10 dollars per vehicle, with additional fees for dog off-leash areas and water basin access at the reservoir.
In 1993, the park hosted 375,000 people for a papal mass by Pope John Paul II, marking the largest event in Colorado State Parks history.
