About us

Nestled just south of Colorado’s capital city, Castle Rock is a thriving, world-class community. With about 85,000 residents, Castle Rock values its small-town character, with a traditional downtown core and cherished community events. Castle Rock is a full-service municipality. It employs about 600 full-time employees to provide residents police, fire, emergency medical, parks, recreation, water and transportation services. The Town also serves as the Douglas County seat and is home to the headquarters for Douglas County School District, Douglas County, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and a local Colorado State Patrol troop. As the community continues growing, the Town will continue to provide high-quality services while preserving the history and heritage of Castle Rock. At the same time, the Town will remain physically freestanding from the rest of the metro area. The Town’s identity stems not only from the namesake rock, but also from the scenic natural landscape that surrounds it. There are more than 110 miles of trails, 55 well-planned parks and more than 6,700 acres of open space for residents and visitors to enjoy, making Castle Rock a regular on Money magazine’s top places to live list. (See other ways the Town has been recognized at CRgov.com/Recognition.) In order to preserve their rich traditions and quality of life, Castle Rock residents effectively manage change. The community works to enhance the Town’s self-sufficiency and foster a strong local economy, making Castle Rock an attractive place to work and own or start a business.

  • When you’ve worked for the Town for 15 years, you pick up a few titles, like “asset manager,” “admin extraordinaire” or, officially, "special project analyst," and Tara lives up to them all. She's a true force of nature and the rock of the Parks Maintenance crew. Tara does a little bit of everything: managing pavilion and Town Trolley reservations, supporting park operations, helping with accreditation — and keeping the team laughing along the way. What keeps her going? “The people,” she says. And, after 24 years living in Castle Rock, her favorite places still include the parks where she’s made memories with her kids, nieces, nephews and friends. So the next time you enjoy a playground or plan a party at a Town park pavilion, just know: #WeWorkForYou, and Tara’s been working hard behind the scenes to make it happen. 🎉 Want to create your own park memories? Pavilion rental season is in full swing. Reserve your spot or book the Town Trolley during the summer season at CRgov.com/Registration!
