Fox Run Gazebo: Outdoor Wedding Venue - El Paso County Community Services

Gazebo and pond at Fox Run Regional Park

The Wedding Gazebo on Aspen Lake in El Paso County’s Fox Run Regional Park is a premier outdoor wedding venue in the Pikes Peak and Front Range region, close to Colorado Springs, Monument, and Black Forest.

The deep forest and serine waters of Aspen Lake surround the Wedding Gazebo, providing a scenic and peaceful outdoor wedding experience.

April 2023: El Paso County staff observed weather-related shifting of some outside walls earlier this year. An assessment was made, and a decorative safety railing has been added to the inside of the gazebo. The gazebo also received a fresh coat of paint.
