Fishin hole and portrait photographers ideal backdrop for senior photos, family group portraits and engagement pictures. Cattail ponds, tall grass fields and massive cottonwood trees draw photographers and their subjects to this small park for remarkable settings across the property. It actually got busy with photographers waiting their turn for the wooden foot bridge, the fallen logs and reflective ponds. From the number of people lining the shore, the fishing was pretty good too!
I spent my young adult years on this property, the white ranch house that stands at the edge of the parking area was my grandparents home for 30 years. I lived in a home that once stood at the edge of a smaller pond just down the hill from the big white house. I am so thankful that the park and walking paths will bring new memories to so many families that will enjoy fishing in the pond or taking family photos with the fall leaves in the backdrop. If you are in the area stop by and enjoy a leisurely walk. The Highlands Ranch Parks department has taken great effort to make this an accessible and enjoyable place for all!
Great Views! Lots of good places for pictures. And some Bike paths.
Beautiful little park, right next to the highline canal. Great for pictures. A nice little lake. Really quite place.
Its a small park, but it is beautiful to walk around and it connects with the Highline. If you need pictures taken at sunset this place is gorgeous. Only issue was that there were four other groups getting photos at the same time.
Beautiful park. Part of the Highline Canal. You can picnic and fish.
Nice and relaxing experience. We took a long stroll on high line canal trail.Lots of people catching
Really nice quiet and serene place to visit. The fall colors are beautiful.
Very nice little park! From within, you almost forget that youre right next to a high traffic interchange. Very well put together.
Quiet stop with an old farmhouse and a fishing hole many seem to enjoy. Never knew it was there. Connects to High Line Canal trail.
I like to take my clients with disabilities here because its so easy to catch fish!
So the pond has some fish now but not as much as before. Still a great pond and somewhere you want to take your kids.
Peacefully despite highway noise. We remember the pond before development.
Cute little park with a nice quiet pond. Perfect for a picnic lunch with the family.
Awesome place on the Highline Canal! Great fishing pond and walking trails!
Relaxing and non commercialized... for now.
Nice place to hang out with the fam while the little ones fish
Beautiful pond in the city. There was a photographer doing senior pictures when I was there. Great location for this. There is fishing available I the pond as well as the nearby stream. Some hiking trails run through. Very nice and serene place. Ill definitely be taking my family there in the very near future.
Pretty little park beside the high line canal with a bass pond that drains into two smaller ponds. Two docks to fish from, amenities and a nice little hanging bridge that crosses the small creek.
Beware of garbage parking if you drive anything larger than a midsized car.
Several years ago the metro district spent $400K to restore this so called historic house. Since then it has just sat empty, broken windows from vandals, no stairs to the porch, deteriorating from weather. Doesnt seem to be any further plan for it. What a waste. The rest of the park is nice though, and its on the Highline Canal.
A beautiful place!
Ive been there twice now and only caught baby catfish,
Im going to have kids just so I can take them fishing here. (Jk) its great. Good luck not getting a hit at the pond with worms. If you arent here too be fishing, its very scenic, peaceful, and relaxing. A fantastic get-away for that when that day off finally comes around.
Great place to get together and relax!
Normally fairly busy but cutting up worms in smaller pieces works amazing. Caught 20 fish in 90 minutes all fairly small but at least you catch a good amount
Quaint and beautiful
This park is a hidden gem and its absolutely beautiful this time of year. We did family photos there, and while the photographer sucked, the park was a great backdrop.
Not sure about how big the park its but doesnt look like there is a play ground here. More like an outdoor recreation area. Met a photographer here for family pictures. Seems like a lot of people were doing the same. Id say its a nice place for a walk after earning at Nonos across the street.
Very clean and Great Fishing !!!
Little park, but great scenery. Come in early Autumn to enjoy the leaves and take pictures, or in the summer to enjoy a some fishing at the pond. I wish they would maintain the historical little white house thats on premise.
Great place to take a break along the High Line Canal Trail. Has clean bathrooms, water fountain and shaded area to rest.
Very photogenic location. Especially with fall colors in the trees.
First of all people need to pick up after themselves, second the pond water was full of trash and the grass at bottom was way thick. I think Highlands Ranch parks and trails need to there job to keep this pond clean enough to fish for the young people trying to learn how to fish !! The pond stink like dead fish it was bad ! Will never fish their again !! Please get it cleaned up thanks !
Great site for family pictures.
Love this park. Great to go explore and paint.
We did our family pictures here in mid November. There were lots of areas for photo ops. Im sure the other seasons would be great as well just in different ways. We walked around a bit for pics but didnt really take advantage of anything else.
Awesome place to fish and take walks, when its not to crowded
Very nice place.
Great starting point for walking the highline canal
Awesome little pond. Kids had fun.
Great place to take pictures at for school, work, etc. Fish here are pretty darn large, the biggest i caught here was a 10 Lb catfish, and a 30 lb carp. Hope yall have a fun time at the b!
Cool little area to visit
Great place to bring kids for catch and release fishing. The fish are very small but active. The park itself is pleasant and well maintained, with limited parking which I consider a plus as to keep it from being overrun with guests.
A great cozy park on the highline trail
This a beautiful pond surrounded by trees yet also boasting a view of the mountains. We bring our kids here to fish and ALWAYS have great success, although the fish are VERY SMALL! We also recommend the Flyn B Park for photography, especially in the fall with the changing leaves!
Great place for photos.
Beautiful park with many old trees, breaks away from the traditional Highlands Ranch park design by having a dirt trail and many trees rather than a playground and an open field. There is a pond and covered eating area with grills. Bugs do come out in the evening, so bring some spray if you plan on staying late.
Fun little park tucked away on the NW side of Highlands Ranch. This small park is scenic and has a little fish pond and several trails meandering through it. It is popular for photographers and family picture sessions as well as folks parking here to hit the highline canal for a run or hike.
Nice
A sublime fishing spot for young kids.
Great spot in the middle of the city. Nice area to bring the kids fishing or take a short walk
Took the dog for a walk. Place was hot and dusty. Better places around for that.
I love this place I love just sitting in the parking lot and relaxing underneath the beautiful trees
Beautiful park!
We found this gem in the rough! Beautiful wooded trails, fishing pond. Love to come here to walk our dog. I see a lot of family photograpgers.
To do: fish, picnic, short hike, good bike access to Highline Canal and c-470 bike trails. Modest parking choices. Fair handicap accessibility.
Nice little park that has a pond that allows catch and release fishing. A nice little piece of history tucked away in suburbia.
Pretty park for pictures!
Really like this spot. Nice park. Go play and have a good time. Check it out!
While this park has the fishing pond and the lovely old building, I think the most interesting thing is the old apple orchards! We were on a mission, but it would be interesting trying to identify the different types of apples.
Fun but fishing not as good as it used to be.
Great park, very quiet!!
Lots of fun for small kids starting out with fishing.
Nice family park
In the fall there are lots of photographers who take people here for family photos because of the nice backdrop and foliage. I cant see another reason to come here
Amazing spot for family pictures (mid August late afternoon) you may want bug spray for everyone or appreciate mosquitoes in formidable aggression.
Thought the pond would be bigger and there isnt any fish in it like I was told.
Good place to take your young children to fish, yet the fish are usually small
Great piece of history. Nice fishing pond. Beautiful.
Beautiful park but unfortunately construction is right next to it now.
Limited parking, good trails and limited fishing.
Awesome park.
Nice quick getaway.good for pics and wonderful fall colors
Great for kids and easy on parents for a hour of fishing but gets busy
Great little public park with pond fishing.
Good walking trails
Cute park with pretty views!
