More About Littleton
A huge perk of calling Littleton home is enjoying the community it provides. Littleton is known in surrounding communities for its long list of annual events, two local favorites being Western Welcome Week, a tradition since the early 1900’s and the Candlelight Walk for the holiday season. The Chatfield State Park borders the southern edge of town which provides ample recreation as well as the Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield where you can take in the colors of the local wildflowers, enjoy a seasonal butterfly house and so much more. Take a stroll along the Mary Carter Greenway Trail where you can soak in views of the South Platte River, bird watch, get your steps in, or enjoy a cup of coffee from the nearby Wild Goose Coffee.
