Mary Kyer Park offers a huge playground, basketball court, tennis court, grassy fields and a large pond with a waterfall. To the south is the beautifully maintained grounds of Liberty Heights Senior Lifestyle Community. The eastern border of Trail Ridge is shared with the western boundary of Flying Horse- a new luxury golf course community in Northgate.
