Estes Park opens registration for 2026 Park-n-Walk Challenge

The Town of Estes Park is accepting registrations for its 2026 Park-n-Walk Challenge, a program that encourages people to use the town’s free parking structure at 691 N. St. Vrain Ave. near the Estes Park Visitor Center during the summer season.

According to the town’s news release, the program was launched in 2021. From June through October, the town’s parking program monitors use of the structure and randomly draws a winner each month from registered license plates.

Winners receive prize packs made up of items from local businesses, including car washes, movie tickets, restaurant gift cards and activity gift cards, the town said.

Registration is requested for both new and returning participants. To enter, residents and visitors can complete an online form at the town’s parking webpage. Questions can be directed to Dana Klein, the town’s parking and transit manager, at 970-577-3577 or by email, according to the release.
