Living in Castle Pines, CO
The City of Castle Pines is a home rule city along I-25 in Douglas County, between Lone Tree to the north and Castle Rock to the south. Voters approved it as the City of Castle Pines North in 2007, it incorporated in 2008, and residents renamed it the City of Castle Pines in 2010.
One detail surprises many newcomers: The Village at Castle Pines, the gated golf community, is not part of the city. It’s in unincorporated Douglas County and uses Castle Rock mailing addresses. The city itself includes the established neighborhoods of Castle Pines North, west of I-25, and the newer community of The Canyons, to the east.
The city has about 14 miles of paved, 8-foot-wide trails, as well as parks such as Elk Ridge Park, Coyote Ridge Park, and Retreat Park. Daniels Park is nearby.
