Trinidad’s public green spaces are second to none for a town of its size. In addition to its world-class skatepark, a new and radical disc golf course, and a riverwalk, four public parks offer bocce ball, fishing, running trails, soccer, basketball, baseball, and playgrounds as well as a historic bandshell for public concerts. Trinidad has a historic nine-hole golf course as well as a new Nicklaus Design course at Cougar Canyon.
At the junction of Scenic Highway of Legends lake country and Santa Fe Trail Scenic Byway grasslands and canyons, Trinidad is the gateway to unparalleled opportunities for recreation and daytrips in southern Colorado.
