Metzler Family Open Space Hike
2025-10-22 09:00 - 10:30 | Metzler Family Open Space, 838 E Allen St, Castle Rock, 80108
Start your Wednesday with gorgeous sweeping views, plentiful wildlife and beautiful wildflowers and vegetation at Metzler Family Open Space. This land along Founders Parkway and Crowfoot Valley Road is truly a treasure. The Metzler family is credited as an original settler in the Castle Rock area. Originally built in 1899, the homestead was the home of Bob and Rosemary Metzler. The siblings grew up on the property when it was still being used for ranching and dairy operations. Both Bob and Rosemary had distinguished careers in education. Bob was elected the Superintendent of Douglas County Schools in 1952, and Rosemary taught in Douglas County for more than 30 years. The siblings were third-generation Coloradans who had a passion for education, the community, and parks and recreation.

Castle Rock developed 4 miles of native-surface, single-track trails throughout the property and straightened the silo, as its preservation was requested by Mr. Metzler. The trails are now open for hikers, mountain bikers and walkers with dogs on leash. With minimal elevation gain and welcoming paths, this is the perfect outing for hikers of all skill levels

Bring your water bottle, hat, and sunscreen – it’s going to be a great morning!

If you are not familiar with the bump up/bump down play, here is a little more info:
Bump Up / Bump Down pickleball is a fun, fast-paced, social style of open play that keeps games moving and helps players mix with different partners and skill levels. Here’s how it works:

All players are divided across several courts.
After one team finishes, results determine where you go next based on your current score:

Winners “bump up” to the next higher court.
Losers “bump down” to the next lower court.

On each new court, players switch partners so everyone plays with a variety of people.
