With so much do see and do in the Winter Park, Colorado area, we figured we’d put together a mini bucket list for you to try while you’re here. Here is part 1 of your Grand Park Bucket List.

Play Disc Golf

Grand Park is home to a fantastic (and free) disc golf course! We invite you to head on over and check it out for an afternoon of family fun! If you need discs, stop by the Grand Park Rec. Center and see if you can borrow some of their discs!

Try the Tramp Class at the Grand Park Rec. Center

If you’re in search of a great workout, look no further than the Grand Park Rec. Center. Here you’ll find a variety of classes for every interest. The Tramp Class is one everyone should try at least once! Who knew working out could be so fun? If you’re not feeling a work out, head to the pool and relax and enjoy in the Lazy River.

Go Fishing

Whether fly-fishing or bait fishing, Grand County Colorado is home to some of the most wonderful fishing waters in the state! You can pick up a fishing license from most gas stations, bait shops, or groceries stores in the area and hit the water running…or reeling! Once you’ve got your license, head over to the Fraser River trail or the fishing pond East of Safeway and get casting. Just be sure to know the rules and regulations, and unless you’re planning on having trout for dinner, catch and release is always advised.

Try Mountain Biking

When you’re at Grand Park, you are literally in the Mountain Bike Capital USA. Rent a bike and some protective gear and get on your way! If you’re looking for a low-key start or instruction, head over to Winter Park Resort or Granby Ranch and take a spin there. Granby Ranch is home to one of the only lift-served cross-country trail systems in the state. Cross-country trails are much smoother and more welcoming for beginner and intermediate riders who don’t want to commit to the downhill rides.

Hit the Foundry

Our neighbor the Foundry Cinema and Bowl is a great relaxation destination after a day at work, on the course, or mountain biking. Here you can watch the latest movies in some of the most comfortable movie seats, play a game of pool, have a drink, eat some pizza, or bowl.
