Island Cove Park is a 15-acre, 69-space, mobile and tiny home community located on the river’s edge in the heart of downtown Durango, Colorado. This riverfront park is unique in that it has 1000 feet of coveted Animas river frontage, a dedicated area for tiny home living, a community garden, and its own private island which is reserved exclusively for residents.

The park has breathtaking views of the La Plata Mountains and residents will enjoy direct access to the Animas River which flows down from the rugged Colorado San Juan Mountains.
