Just a reminder about the community clean up this Saturday! We are also looking for volunteers who would like to help unload cars/trucks.

WE DID IT! 🎉

What began as a pipe dream over four years ago became reality last Saturday. Our volunteer nonprofit officially cut the ribbon on Phase Two of our park revitalization project, turning a field that was started more than 20 years ago but never completed into our "field of dreams"!

A special thanks to Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), Colorado Department of Local Affairs, Colorado Outdoor Recreation Industry Office, Sammie Trotter, Matt Nuñez, Colorado City Metro District, ARC VALLEY CONSTRUCTION INC, San Isabel Electric Association, Inc., Siete Construction and Kyle Clark with Denver 9 News for making this dream possible!

Don't ever be afraid to dream big. Afterall, what is the worst that can happen? 💜

Colorado City has completed a $3 million revitalization of Greenhorn Park. Here's how a community nonprofit got it done.

I saw this question come up on another page and thought it might be helpful to share an update here.

You’ve probably noticed the great progress on the football field at Greenhorn Meadows Park – but it’s not quite ready yet. The orange fencing is still up at the request of our general contractor and will stay in place until October 1. This gives the new sod time to take root without people or pets on it.

We’ll also be sealing the track soon, and it needs time to fully cure before use. We’re just as excited as you are to see the community enjoying these new amenities, but we ask for your patience for about six more weeks so we can protect these improvements for the long term.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
