Crystal Park: Our Community

Crystal Park is a gated membership mountain community located above Colorado Springs and adjacent to Manitou Springs, Colorado. Our community consists of over 2,000 acres of wooded, mountainous terrain (up to 9,000 ft elevation) with 360 building envelopes of .7 acres scattered through it, approximately 220 of which have been built out.

Crystal Park is organized as a PUD, with the “common” acreage being held by the Crystal Park Homeowners Association. We are governed by an elected seven-member Board of Directors who meet monthly and a strong committee structure staffed by volunteer residents. On a day-to-day basis, Crystal Park is managed by a full-time professional manager and is maintained by two full-time road maintenance operators who maintain six miles of paved road and miles of unpaved roads using our fleet of heavy equipment, snow plows and trucks.

Many social events are held at our clubhouse complete with full kitchen, expansive deck and high-altitude heated swimming pool. The Park’s other recreational facilities are tennis, badminton, volleyball and basketball courts, children’s playground and miles of trails that start in Crystal Park and merge into Pike National Forest.

Crystal Park offers residents a unique combination of isolation and convenience. Our residents have solitude, beautiful views and hiking right out our doors, while being only twenty minutes from downtown Colorado Springs. We are adjacent to Pike National Forest on much of our boundary and wildlife abounds.

Crystal Park also has a rich history, that can best be viewed at http://historiccrystalpark.blogspot.com/
