Kids playing on a playground

Walk, hike, bike, fish or just play! Aurora has 97 developed parks and over 5,000 acres of open space to help you maintain an active lifestyle. Park hours are 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Park amenities vary; however, most parks have playground equipment, picnic tables and nearby multi-use trails. Twenty city parks have reservable shelters; all other shelters are free and are first come, first served during park hours.
