If you have questions about the school boundaries, please contact me, and watch this page for future school updates.

Red-tail Park
Red-tail Park is located off of Pemberly Avenue on the western edge of Firelight. The park includes a soccer/multi-use sports field, a baseball diamond, a basketball/multi-use court, a playground, picnic shelter, and restroom, as well as off-street parking and trail access. There is trail access from Red-tail Park to the beautiful Dad Clark Trail (read more about the Dad Clark Trail below). Red-tail Park also features pretty mountain views & is quite possibly the nicest neighborhood park in all of Highlands Ranch!

Backcountry Wildnerness Area
The Backcountry Wilderness Area is 8,200 acres of open space located on the southern border of Firelight. This beautiful land is accessible by the Dad Clark Trail (located on the western edge of Firelight near Mountain Vista High School), and by the Douglas County East-West Regional Trail (trailhead located just off of Grigs road, about 1/2 mile south of Firelight), and these two trails connect to form one long trail through the Backcountry Wildnerness Area. This is a wonderful hike of approximately 3 miles, and offers breathtaking mountain views as well as unparalleled views of the entire Denver/Metropolitan area. The summit of the hike is Highlands Point, which offers 360-degree views, as well as a stand&view compass which features information on mountain peaks & points of interest. Firelight homeowners can just step out their front door, walk through the neighborhood to the Dad Clark Trail, and within minutes be on a peaceful and serene journey on this incredible trail system. The Rocky Gulch Trail is a 1.5 mile natural surface trail in the Backcountry Wilderness Area, and offers a great experience for hikers, mountain bikers, and runners. The Rocky Gulch Trail is accessible using the trails mentioned above.

Southridge Recreation Center
The Southridge Recreation Center has many unique features, including a "wet craft" room with eight pottery wheels and a pair of kilns, and a resort-style outdoor pool with an extensive deck for sunbathing. The 72,000 square foot facility also has a spa for adults, a stage with a curtain for performances, a catering/teaching kitchen, five outdoor tennis courts, a greenhouse, two basketball courts with retractable turf, an elevated running track, and an indoor play pool with climbing nets, mini-slides and fountains. A pro shop and drop-in nursery are also available. Firelight residents can easily enjoy the convenience of the Southridge Recreation Center, as it is located just two minutes east of the Firelight community. Firelight residents also enjoy the amenities offered by the other three rec centers in Highlands Ranch: Northridge, Eastridge, and Westridge. The Southridge Recreation Center is located at 4800 McArthur Ranch Road.

The Shops at Highland Walk
Firelight residents enjoy the convenience of shopping at The Shops at Highland Walk, which features a King Soopers supermarket, restaurants & coffee shoppe, a bank, and a dozen retail outlets.

Daniels Park
Daniels Park is an easy 10-minute drive on Grigs Road just south of Firelight. Daniels Park offers one of the prettiest mountain views in the region: from the main overlook you can see the entire front range, from Pikes Peak down south to Longs Peak up north. Also featured are several picnic areas, including a massive stone structure with covered picnic tables underneath, and a few short hiking trails. Daniels Park offers the perfect quick getaway, especially when time does not permit a drive into the mountains.
