Due to the winter storm May 5-6, the Toepfer Park 2.0 Celebration has been rescheduled for Monday, June 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Bring your family, friends and neighbors to explore the new amenities at the park, 9320 Venneford Ranch Road, including a new playground, park shelter, nature trail and expanded parking lot. Let’s make wonderful memories together in Toeper Park - 2.0 version!

The event will feature giveaways, a scavenger hunt for kids and Kona Ice on site with treats for purchase. A ribbon cutting will be at 5:15 p.m. at the playground. Our partners at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office and Highlands Ranch Water will also be on site with giveaways and information.

Originally dedicated in 1996, the park was named after Jim Toepfer, one of the founders of Highlands Ranch. In 2022, an additional 10 acres of land adjacent to the park was conveyed to the Metro District from the Douglas County Board of Commissioners, in partnership with the Douglas County School District.

After a period of public input and staff planning for the improvements, construction began in May 2025. The new playground opened to the public in October 2025.
