Palmer Park, located between North Union Boulevard and North Academy Boulevard, is a residential and outdoorsy Colorado Springs neighborhood with a mesa-top park and mid-century streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at Palmer Park Boulevard and North Union Boulevard, where local eateries, small storefronts, and steady commuter energy set the tone. Ranch homes and split-levels sit on broad lots, with Pikes Peak views appearing along higher blocks. Palmer Park’s trail network and bluffs shape daily routines around hikes, bike loops, and open sky. Community pillars include the Palmer Park Recreation Center, the Palmer Park Art Center, and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College.
