Town of Green Mountain Falls, Park Gazebo Island

Gazebo Island sits at the center of Green Mountain Falls, a mountain community nestled at 7,800 feet in elevation just west of Colorado Springs, surrounded by Pike National Forest. The focal point of Lake Park, the Victorian gazebo was built around 1890 during the era when the town was developed as a summer resort — the lake itself was man-made, with the island created to hold the structure. A boardwalk was added in the 1930s and the bridge standing today was built in 1990, connecting the island to the surrounding park. The gazebo was fully restored in 2008. The town rents the gazebo for weddings, ceremonies, anniversaries, and private events. The structure features four electrical outlets and eight interior hooks for hanging baskets or decorative arrangements. Restrictions include no balloons, birdseed, rice, artificial flower petals, open flames (unity candles excepted), or alcohol. Contact the Town Clerk by phone or email to reserve the space.
