Thank you, Woodland Park Police Department and Teller County Sheriff's Office. Our prayers are with the two Colorado State Patrol officers wounded in this heinous act.

Last night, Lynn and I had the honor to attend the 4th Infantry Division Independence Day BBQ hosted by Major General Patrick Ellis, Commanding General of the 4ID, and his lovely wife, Brenda. A fantastic event! We found many Woodland Park connections, including Lt General Ed Anderson (retired) and his wife Ann, who live in our fantastic city (and yes I will be looking into those potholes!). Not to mention the many golf enthusiasts who we hope will come play at !

This is so Woodland Park! Plus, I might add against my better judgement, I will be in the “dunk tank” today at 1pm. I plan on being dry the entire time!

Celebrating the 4th—Woodland Park Style! ❤️🤍💙 The Fourth of July is about so much more than fireworks—it's about community, tradition, and spending time with the people we love.

To help you make the most of the holiday, we've put together a list of events and activities happening in Woodland Park that let you celebrate while helping protect our forests, neighborhoods, and first responders during this period of heightened wildfire risk. From the Old Fashioned 4th of July Celebration at Memorial Park to the Symphony Above the Clouds featuring the Woodland Park Wind Symphony concert later that evening, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a festive, memorable Independence Day.

Take a look at the flyer below and discover a few new ways to celebrate this year. Whether you enjoy live music, explore the outdoors responsibly, visit a City facility, or simply spend time with family and friends, every safe celebration helps protect the place we all call home. Thank you for doing your part to keep Woodland Park safe. Wishing everyone a fun, meaningful, and Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

I am excited to attend!

Come grow with us at CP’s Community Garden at City Hall

There are three great ways to get involved:

1. Adopt a garden bed — Enjoy your own garden bed at the Community Garden to plant, grow, and harvest throughout the season for a $45 fee. Whether you’re growing vegetables, herbs, or flowers, this is a great way to connect with nature and take home fresh, homegrown produce.

2. Volunteer — Be part of what keeps the garden thriving! Lend a hand with watering, weeding, general upkeep, and small projects while connecting with others and giving back to the community.

3. Work & Learn Days — Join us anytime during our twice-weekly, hands-on sessions led by our Master Gardener. Grow your gardening skills, dig into high-altitude techniques, and connect with fellow community members to learn together.

Contact Michelle to get involved or learn more about any of these opportunities. [email protected] or 719-686-0705
