Stonegate residents can shop for everyday conveniences at one of two neighborhood retail centers: the Stonegate Village Center and The Crossing at Stonegate. A much larger selection of shops and department stores is found at Park Meadows Shopping Center, about five miles outside the city. Park Meadows is a traditional, indoor mall with more than 100 retailers. Additional shopping is available at Castle Rock Factory Shops, a factory outlet mall in Castle Rock.
Approximately one-third of the Stonegate development is dedicated to outdoor, public spaces. Walking paths, outdoor basketball courts, open spaces and green belts are always open for recreational fun. Stonegate is also located close to two major recreation sites: Castlewood Canyon State Park and Cherry Creek State Park.
Castlewood Canyon State Park in Franktown provides visitors with access to Colorado’s Black Forest, a rocky and densely treed canyon area. Within the park are the ruins of Castlewood Canyon Dam, plus rocky canyon walls and a network of trails that wind into the heart of the wilderness. Castlewood Canyon is used primarily for sightseeing, hiking, rock climbing, photography and picnicking.
A much different experience is available at Cherry Creek State Park. Cherry Creek includes a large lake surrounded by serene, rolling hills. Independent businesses within the park provide for boating, horseback riding and shooting. Visitors can also spend their time swimming, camping, hiking and bird watching.
