City officials confirmed that the park—located near Voyager Parkway and North Gate Boulevard—has wrapped up its final phase of development. The new 6,500-square-foot playground is the centerpiece of the project, surrounded by accessible walking loops, a multi-use field, a picnic pavilion, half-court basketball area, seating and shade features, and a natural area with soft-surface trails and an overlook designed to give visitors panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
The City of Colorado Springs said Grey Hawk Park “is now complete,” emphasizing the long-term value it expects the space to bring to nearby neighborhoods. Planners noted that the area has experienced rapid residential growth over the past decade, increasing demand for public amenities that can support families, youth programs, and outdoor recreation.
A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. City leaders, including Mayor Yemi Mobolade, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Director Britt Haley, Councilmember David Leinweber, former Council President Randy Helms, and representatives from the Grey Hawk HOA, are expected to speak. Their participation highlights how the project reflects coordination between municipal leadership and community stakeholders.
Following the ceremony, the city said students from Discovery Canyon Campus Elementary School, along with children from the surrounding community, will be invited to test out the brand-new play equipment. This “playtesting” tradition has become a popular way for the city to introduce new parks to local families while gathering early feedback on design and functionality.
According to the city, Grey Hawk Park is intended to provide much-needed outdoor space and recreational opportunities for residents in the northern corridor, as well as support physical wellness and community-building through improved green space access. Officials emphasized that the park’s combination of active and natural areas is designed to serve a wide range of ages and interests.
The completion comes amid a broader push by Colorado Springs to expand and modernize its parks system, especially in neighborhoods where new development has outpaced existing recreational infrastructure. With Grey Hawk Park now open, local families will have a dedicated place to gather, play, and connect just steps from home.
