Prospect Lake at Memorial Park


Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.
--Wallace Stevens (1879-1955) American Poet.


Prospect Lake is part of the expansive 196 acre Memorial Park located east of downtown Colorado Springs. A 1.25-mile trail leads visitors around this urban lake with great views of Pikes Peak. In addition to walking, picnicking, fishing, and kayaking there are many other recreational opportunities available: playground, horseshoe pit, baseball, softball and soccer fields, basketball and tennis courts, skateboard park, and ice rink. So much to do. Pictured here is the impressive veterans memorial. Click images to enlarge. Map here.
