Community Map
There are now two sides to our story. The RidgeGate community in Lone Tree features retail, office, health and wellness districts and walkable neighborhoods, and is now expanding to the east side of I-25.
RidgeGate™ is a walkable mixed-use master planned community in Lone Tree that spans 3,500 acres, or six square miles. The west side of RidgeGate is home to Sky Ridge Medical Center, the Charles Schwab Campus, SuperTarget, Cabela’s, the Lone Tree Recreation Center, Lone Tree Arts Center and Douglas County Libraries Lone Tree branch. In addition, there are several residential neighborhoods, restaurants, shops, hotels, and services.
Today, the west side is 95% built out and the east side of RidgeGate is in its early stages of development. Placemaking and thoughtful urban design nestled in preserved natural open space will continue to be a hallmark of the community.
East side plans include the 400-acre Lone Tree City Center®, a series of three distinct residential neighborhoods with integrated commercial uses, and an extensive park and open space network that protects a quarter of the total acreage. The two sides of the community are connected by a four-lane bridge, integrating all amenities and experiences.
RidgeGate is becoming a regional gateway; a community that is forward-thinking, connected, and vibrant for residents, entertainment, and business.

LONE TREE REGIONAL PARK
The City of Lone Tree and South Suburban Parks and Recreation are working collaboratively to develop and refine plans for Lone Tree’s first regional park on the east side of RidgeGate. It’s located along Happy Canyon Creek near I-25 and RidgeGate Parkway.
The 80-acre regional amenity will be a destination park, creating a new central gathering place in north-central Douglas County. It will accommodate a diverse range of both passive and active recreational activities, with dedicated pathways and a festival terrace, along with multi-purpose athletic fields, courts, and more.
The concept for the Lone Tree Regional Park is still in development so the elements are subject to change. Residents are encouraged to participate in community meetings to stay involved as the plans for this signature public space are realized.
