As a whole the Colorado Springs Community Centers offer numerous programs and services; however, each community center offers an array of activities or amenities to keep all ages engaged throughout the year. One example is the “free” public water playground located at Deerfield Hills. From June 1 to Labor Day each year, all ages are able to get soaked, splashed and sprayed at this staff supervised spray ground.
Together these sites ensure that future generations have the chance to enjoy a place where dreams are nurtured, goals are achieved, and friendships are formed.
