With seven golf courses, a reservoir beach, hiking trails and a multi-use Sports Park, the city is a major hub of athletics and hometown to numerous pro football, basketball, hockey and soccer players and coaches. Aurora's emerging arts scene brings forth vibrant theater and visual arts to liven up the city.

Pedego Electric Bikes Southlands

HELLO FUN! We RENT Pedego Electric Bikes from Southlands Mall. Jump on the bike trail right across from the mall and enjoy riding the beautiful trails to the Cherry Creek Reservoir, Downtown Denver or to Old Town Parker. You will be almost exclusively on trails going under almost all streets. Ride our super comfy, beach cruiser style electric bikes where you choose your level of exercise. You are in total control, set your assistance to a little help or a lot of help. The assistance will even everyone out so the super athlete in the group can get a great workout while others can enjoy an easier ride and not worry about keeping up or going to far. Take a short ride over to the Aurora Reservoir, where you can play at the beach, go paddle boarding, have a picnic or ride the trail around the reservoir. Most people choose this shorter ride (1 to 1 1/2 hours) and then enjoy the restaurants, pubs, movies or shopping in the mall. We are located in SE Aurora at about E470 & Smoky Hill Rd.

Love this place the best because it is clean and well organized. The grilling stations are in a designated spot so people can’t ruin your day at the beach by firing up the grill right next to you on the sand. Very clean water. It’s my happy place!
