What to Expect A quieter, more contemplative downtown park than its neighbor Acacia, Alamo Square is a beautiful spot to stroll, take in public art, and soak up a piece of Colorado Springs history. The stunning 1903 Beaux-Arts courthouse building that houses the Pioneers Museum anchors the park and is worth a visit on its own.
History Originally known as South Park, Alamo Square was part of General William Jackson Palmer’s original 1871 vision for an interconnected downtown park system. The park’s centerpiece building served as the El Paso County Courthouse from 1903 to 1973 before being restored and reopened as the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum.
Don’t Miss The Pioneers Museum is free and features fine art, historical exhibits, and a museum store — making it one of the best free things to do in downtown Colorado Springs.
