Cherry Creek State Park is closing nightly due to safety concerns, vandalism

Cherry Creek State Park, one of Colorado’s busiest recreation areas, will close nightly from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. due to rising safety concerns and vandalism.

In a recent social media post, Colorado Parks and Wildlife said that only campers will be allowed in the park during those hours.

“Campers, be prepared to show your camping reservations to get in,” the post said.

“Thank you for understanding. The safety of our visitors and community is our number one priority.“

The Cherry Creek State Park covers over 4,200 acres in the Denver metro area and is anchored around an 880 surface-acre reservoir.

The park offers outdoor recreation amenities, including camping, picnicking and facilities for group events.
