The bike park at Dos Rios features several obstacles that will help riders master the skills to enjoy the nearby Lunch Loops Trail System.

The Colorado & Gunnison Rivers

In addition to the splash pad, playground, and bike park, Moms will love the fact that the brand new Starbucks at Dos Rios is open with all the caffeinated beverages you'll need to make it through all that play time.

Not far from the park, there are a couple of benches that overlook the confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison Rivers. It's a great place to watch one of Western Colorado's famous sunsets at the end of a fun day.
