Highlands Ranch CO is a relatively new suburb of Denver. The land for the city was purchased by the Mission Viejo Company, the same corporation responsible for building the beautiful suburb of Mission Viejo, California. The land was developed to include beautiful parks, an undeveloped green belt for recreation, and stellar, quality homes. It is stated as a fact that 85% of the city’s residents are less than a quarter mile away from any outdoor amenity, whether it is trails, open park space, or just the natural outdoors. Another means of activity for Highlands Ranch residents are its skate parks and tennis courts. Redstone Park¹ houses both, and is the choice location for BMX bikers, inline skaters, and skateboarders. It is also the place to go should you not know how to do any of the above and want to learn, as lessons are offered. Batting cages are also in place at Redstone Park, and only costs one dollar to practice swinging.

The City of Highlands Ranch is committed to providing resources to older residents that help facilitate self-sufficient and healthy lifestyles. The 50 and Better Together Program offers periodic social gatherings and educational workshops that keep residents informed of issues important to those in their later years. Common topics include lifelong learning, elderly support communities, nutrition, technology and good mental health practices. Providing these support services helps ensure that the city's seniors have the knowledge and resources they need to live independently and at an optimal level of physical and mental health.⁴

Family Services and Assistance Programs

During difficult times, families can benefit from having a strong community of peers to help them overcome life's obstacles. The Cherry Hills Community Church takes this to heart, offering a number of supportive services to assist families who are undergoing a transitional phase. In particular, if job loss has occurred, the church's Career Transition Team helps guide and direct the job seeker process and provides emotional and financial supports to the family until employment has been acquired. By offering this program, the church hopes to prevent job loss from having extended negative impacts that lead to further problems such as divorce or homelessness. For further details, call 303-791-4100.⁵
