Progress Park
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Progress Park is a City of Littleton neighborhood in Arapahoe County built out between 1950 and 1975, mostly compact ranches and mid century plans on lots of about 5,000 to 8,000 square feet. Lot widths and setbacks stay consistent block to block, and many houses keep their original brick and low pitched rooflines. Progress Park at 5100 South Hickory Street gives the area its name, and Ketring Park with Ketring Lake is under a mile south. Main Street in the historic downtown is about a mile away, and South Broadway and South Santa Fe Drive both run close by for trips north or south.
