Perry Park, Colorado

Perry Park is an unincorporated community and a census-designated place (CDP) located in Douglas County, Colorado, United States.

[4] The Perry Park area was originally inhabited by the Ute, Kiowa, Arapaho and Cheyenne Native American tribes.

Mr. Perry's son, Charles, became a permanent resident of the ranch and raised short-horn cattle in the area until his death in 1876.

In 1888 John Perry, along with a number of other investors created the Red Stone Town, Land, & Mining Company which attempted to turn Pleasant Park into a resort destination.

Perry Park is located in south-central Douglas County at the foot of the Rampart Range, the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains in this area.
