Crystal Park is a 2000 acre gated mountain community located above Manitou Springs, Colorado.
Crystal Park is in sec. 18, T. 14 S., R. 67 W., 2 miles (3.22 km) southwest of Manitou Springs. It is reached by a toll road that leaves U.S. Highway 24 at a point 2.1 miles (3.38 km) west of 25th Street in Colorado Springs.
Crystal Park derives its name from the many quartz and gemstone crystals which have been found there.
Miarolitic cavities and pegmatites in granites.
Pegmatite bodies are present along the slopes of Cameron Cone from a point more than 1 mile (1.61 km) northwest of Crystal Park south-eastward as far as Bear Creek.
