Neighborhood Amenities

Aurora 7 has not one, but two great parks in the neighborhood.  The Aurora 7 park is tucked away in the neighborhood and a great place to bring young kids and pets.  Scott Carpenter Park also has so much to offer with the wide open field, playground, pool, and skatepark for summer play.  In the winter, the hill in the field becomes a great local sledding area.  There are two fantastic shopping options on either side of the neighborhood.   William’s Village is to the south, with a Sprouts Market, the local Cosmo’s Pizza, and Carelli’s restaurant.  Sports fans will love how close The Dark Horse Saloon is on game nights.  To the North is a King Soopers, the local Moe’s Bagels, and Jamba Juice among much more.
