There is excellent snowshoeing, cross country skiing and hiking in the park during the winter months.
Pioneer Park is dog friendly. Leash law in effect! Please clean up after your pet.
Pioneer Park is owned by the Town of Hot Sulphur Springs and is managed by the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife as a State Wildlife Area. This park is a first come first serve site.
From downtown Hot Sulphur Springs near the post office, proceed west on Grand Avenue over the bridge across the Colorado River and turn left or right into the 80-acre park. The South portion of the park is within walking distance to the hot springs resort and town restaurants, motels and shops.
They just redid this park with contemporary playground equipment. It's a woodsy theme, very nicely done. Has a separate, but nearby, little kids area. Has special needs swings, picnic tables, shade shelters and an exercise equipment area. Very nice! My kids and I played tetherball, it was a blast from the past for me, but a totally new thing for them. Lots of fun!
Went to the disc golf course here. Slightly difficult to find but you park and then walk a distance to the course. Lovely course and fun layout. Be prepared for bugs, tall grass, and low impact hiking.
Quality of camping and day use varies depending on weather, river flow and general maintenance. Sometimes it is great other times it's basically unusable. We have lived in Hot Sulphur Springs for about 8 years and have seen both extremes. Homeless using the park is an intermittent issue
