The original city: Acres Green and the Lone Tree Parkway neighborhoods
The City's history page puts the first subdivision here on Memorial Day weekend of 1982, nine households strong, and by 1991 the area had 13 homeowners associations and no city; the 1995 incorporation vote followed. The spine is Lone Tree Parkway, and the civic stuff still sits along it: the Civic Center at 8527, Cook Creek Pool at 8711, the Lone Tree Hub at 8827 (the library branch until 2015, South Suburban's since 2016), Centennial Ridge Park at 10022 and the Lone Tree Recreation Center at 10249 RidgeGate Circle. Acres Green has its own park at 13524 Acres Green Drive; its elementary school consolidated into Silver Spruce in Highlands Ranch for fall 2026 and the district says the building and playground stay open to the community.
