Good one 😂
UPDATE (4/1 at 4:45pm):
Turns out this plan didn't quite hold water 😅 APRIL FOOLS! We've really enjoyed reading all of your comments and the ideas you suggested. Thanks for going with the flow 😏 with us today!
----------------------------------------------
🚨BIG NEWS!🚨 A memorable new addition is coming to Garden of the Gods Park this summer!
In response to rising temperatures (we feel it too ☀️🥵), we’re introducing a lazy river-style, geologically tantalizing experience designed to give you a never-before-seen vantage point of our iconic red rock formations. Thanks to the waterline infrastructure completed in 2025, we can now bring this idea to life. ✨
Plans include a winding water route, scenic floating areas, and designated entry points… with early concepts featuring a possible “Balanced Rock Bend” 👀🛟
Construction is scheduled to begin next week, with crews mobilizing on site beginning today. Anticipated opening before Summer 2026! The park will remain open during construction; however, visitors may notice increased activity, minor traffic impacts, and possible trail closures. We appreciate your patience!
