~ On October 5th, the City of Colorado Springs Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department will be hosting its final Motorless Morning event of the season in Garden of the Gods Park. This special event will eliminate motor vehicle access within the park from 5 a.m. to noon.

As always, the park will be free and open to the public during this time. However, visitors should be aware that park rules and regulations, including speed limits, will still apply. Skateboards and longboards are welcome on park roads, but designated slow zones and one-way traffic will be in place to ensure safety for all.

Pedestrians are encouraged to walk on the right side of the road, leaving the left side open for cyclists and passing. For those who need assistance getting around the park, designated parking for persons with disabilities is available at the Garden of the Gods Visitor & Nature Center. From there, a shuttle into the main parking lot will be available upon request during Motorless Morning.
