The self-declared town of Parker in the US state of Colorado is a small but cosy community. There is a feeling of well-knit spirit among the residents, and it shows in the cheerful community gatherings at the swimming pools, fitness centres, cycling studios, gymnasiums and other sports enclosures at the Parker Recreation Centre.
Parker, with an estimate of around 50,000 people at present, is the second most populous town in the Douglas County topped by Castle Rock. The community is bounded by three more unincorporated ones - Dove Valley in the northwest, the Pinery to the south and Stonegate in the west. With downtown Denver within 23 miles of Aurora in the southeast, it has always served as a good commuter town for the urban employees.
As far as open natural places are concerned, the Cherry Creek runs through the town of Parker north towards Denver. Coming down from the South Platte River from the high mountains of Colorado, the river and its banks are one of the attractions of Parker for its residents to unwind after a long week. The famous Cherry Creek trail runs along the stream. If you are thinking to settle down in Parker in the near future, you can count on this place for hiking, walking, bicycling and cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in winter.
The Rueter-Hess Reservoir, though not used for any planned activities, people gather there for fishing and waterside relaxation. So in case, you are worried if there is enough scope for recreation - you have definitely nothing to bother about.
