Access into Garden of the Gods Park will be limited on Tuesday, Feb. 25, due to the ongoing waterline installation project. While the park will remain open to visitors, certain areas and access points will be affected.
Closure Details
- Garden Drive: closed all day Tuesday between Juniper Way Loop and Garden Lane.
- Juniper Way Loop: closed Tuesday from 5 a.m. until after noon at Gateway Drive.
- During the closure of Juniper Way Loop, visitors can park in Lot 1 and walk into the park via the Gateway and Bretag trails or drive into the park via Ridge Road. Please note that vehicles must exit the park at Gateway Road during this time.
The Garden of the Gods Visitor and Nature Center will remain open during this time, offering educational resources and amenities for guests. Visitors wishing to see popular attractions such as Balanced Rock, Siamese Twins, and the Garden of the Gods Trading Post can still access these locations via Beckers Lane and Garden Lane.
More than 75% of the waterline installation project is now complete. This closure marks a significant milestone in crossing a major roadway within the park, which will help limit future road closures. Additionally, progress continues on the ADA trail connecting Parking Lot 4 to Central Garden.
Looking ahead, on Wednesday, Feb. 26, the Columbia Road entrance into Garden of the Gods will close, impacting the Stausenbach and Scotsman trails until the end of April. Trail users are advised to follow posted detour signs during this time.
