Eldorado Canyon State Park/Bastille Crack
Known as a world-class destination for mountain climbing, Eldorado Canyon State Park is just a stone's throw away from the Denver metro area. One of the classic climbs is The Bastille Crack, a towering 350-foot cliff that challenges even the most experienced climbers.
In addition to funding some of the world’s most famous rock climbing, the Lottery has also provided funds to expand the park, build new segments of trails, and build the park’s visitor center.
Eldorado Canyon State Park is just one of the 42 state parks and hundreds of wildlife areas managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife that are funded by the Colorado Lottery. Overall, the Lottery has given more than $1.85 million to Eldorado.
Mehaffey Park
Loveland’s Mehaffey Park, a project more than 15 years in the making, was certainly worth the wait. The expansive park was completed with help from $2 million in Lottery funds. The Mehaffey Park project broke ground just weeks before the devastating Big Thompson flood in 2013 and had to be put on hold while flood recovery and rebuilding efforts became a top priority. The now-completed park spans a whopping 64 acres. Amenities include walking trails, an award-winning skate park, tennis and pickleball courts, multipurpose sports fields, dog park, a massive playground structure, public art installations, and the city’s first arboretum.
