Garden of the Gods homes are on the south side of the park and to the north of Manitou Avenue. Take Highway 25 to Garden of the Gods Rd and head west towards the mountains. The street will dead end and you turn left and that takes you into the park. Most of the homes were built in the 1950's to 1990's and have at least 1/4 acre of land. Schools are in district 11. This area is also close to Kissing Camels, Chelsea Glen, Oak Valley, and Pinecliff.
GARDEN OF THE GODS PARK HISTORY
Charles Elliott Perkins, the head of the Burlington Railroad, purchases two-hundred and forty acres in the Garden of the Gods for a summer home in 1879. He later added to the property but never built on it. Instead, he preferred to leave his wonderland in its natural state for the enjoyment of the public. Perkins died in 1907 before he made arrangements for the land to become a public park. In 1909, Perkins' children, knowing their father's feeling for the Garden of the Gods, conveyed his four-hundred eighty acres to the City of Colorado Springs. Today, the Garden of the Gods Park is a registered national, natural landmark in Colorado Springs.
