Park History
Columbine Hills is one of the oldest Foothills parks. It was acquired in 4 separate parcels beginning in 1962. For the first 10 years park development was accomplished through a cooperative effort between Foothills and the Homeowners Association. A community center used to be part of the park. It housed a day care facility until it was sold in 1998. The Massey Draw Regional Trail was originally constructed in 1980 with funding assistance from Jefferson County Open Space.
