Welcome to Woodland Park and the Teller County region...Our piece of heaven! Surrounded by miles of the picturesque Pike National Forest, and boasting over 300 days of sunshine each year, our “City Above the Clouds” is a popular year-round destination for outdoor recreation and a thriving center for commerce. Just 18 easy miles west of Colorado Springs, Woodland Park has evolved from a bedroom community into a destination in its own right with Pikes Peak at its front door. With the natural splendor of Colorado and the Rocky Mountains surrounding it, the abundance of activities, healthy lifestyle and the friendliness of the people who live here, it’s the perfect place to live, work, raise a family, and enjoy life.
Learn more about Woodland Park and the Teller County region – our award-winning schools, vibrant arts community, growing economy and unparalleled quality of life – and you will learn why so many people fall in love with this mountain paradise and choose to call it home.
