Grease Monkey

It's one thing to see the action, but it is quite another to be right in the middle of it. That's where you'll be when you find yourself behind the wheel of the Italian manufactured Parolin go-karts with 6.5HP Honda engines at Action Karting. These are no ordinary go-karts. These are top-flight vehicles that go up to 55 miles per hour. The venue is a fully-insured, professionally run outdoor go-kart racing track. It's the perfect place for a corporate team building gathering, birthday parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or just a great day of revved-up action and fun!

For a more manageable recreation trail, walkers and runners opt for the inviting 3.5 mile Westerly Creek. The trail travels north to south, and it connects Cherry Creek State Park with the High Line Canal at Expo Park. Access and parking to the trail are conveniently found at Expo Park and Utah Park.

William Smith was an Aurora pioneer who went from raising sheep on his humble property to eventually founding Aurora's Public Schools and donating the land for Del Mar Park. See where this prominent Aurora figure lived by visiting the William Smith House that was built in 1910 and named a landmark in 1986. The home remained in the family until 1983 when Smith's daughter Margaret, passed away. The house is now a privately owned residence, but you can still stroll by and snap photos from the sidewalk.
