The Cheyenne Mountain area offers North Cheyenne Canyon Park with its mountain biking and hiking trails and many picnic areas; the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, one of Colorado Springs most prized possessions with its Rocky Mountain exhibit and its very personalized giraffe exhibit; Seven Falls with its spectacular water extravaganza.

Within the community of Mesa Ridge there are several parks that offer picnic areas, sporting fields, hiking and biking trails, and playgrounds. Within the confines of the Fountain area resides Fountain Creek Regional Park with its educational nature center whose motto is: “Restoring the bond between children and nature.” Turtles sunning on a log, cormorants airing their wings and great blue herons are common wildlife sightings on the 2.5-mile park trail which encompasses one of the region's few wetlands featuring wildlife observation pavilions and informative kiosks around spring-fed ponds. White-tailed deer, lizards, toads, frogs, beaver, and muskrat also share this habitat.
