Our Story
According to the Report to the Parks Commission, "General Palmer's plan for a park system was bold, far-sighted and comprehensive.

Sometimes the most meaningful moments happen when plans change. 💙
Maintenance issues have temporarily closed the Deerfield Hills Spray Ground, however the team at Deerfield Hills Community Center saw an opportunity instead of an obstacle. They transformed disappointment into joy by hosting a community water fight, giving neighborhood kids a chance to cool off, laugh, and play!
This is the heart of what our community centers do every day. They are safe places to gather, connect, learn, play, and belong. They strengthen neighborhoods, support families, and create opportunities for meaningful experiences that bring people together.
At PRCS, we believe recreation is essential because people are essential. Recreation improves physical and mental well-being, builds connections, and helps create stronger, more resilient communities. Learn more here: ColoradoSprings.Gov/CommunityCenters
Thank you to the Deerfield team for their creativity, flexibility, and commitment to serving their neighborhood. 💦☀️
