Please join City officials for the DeLong Park Ribbon Cutting on Tuesday, June 7 at 5:30 p.m.

DeLong Park is located at 395 23rd Street. The brief ceremony will mark the opening of Golden’s newest park. You can read more about the history of the park on Guiding Golden.

Golden Parks and Recreation is using DeLong Park as a pilot project for the City’s first organic park location. This means that we will be using only natural, organic products for all plants and grasses. No synthetic chemicals will be used in our maintenance practices.

A group of weed-busting volunteers meets weekly at DeLong Park on Thursday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m. to weed out invasive species–interested community members can join the group on Thursday mornings and be on the lookout for more information about formally signing up to help keep DeLong Park pesticide-free as a volunteer.

Join us for a Community Meet & Greet with the candidates selected by City Council to move forward in the City Manager recruitment process.

Learn more about the City Manager recruitment process at GuidingGolden.com/city-manager-recruitment and join us on Monday, June 27 to meet and get to know the narrowed field of candidates.

The City of Golden will host a community-wide meeting in City Council Chambers (911 10th Street) from 6 p.m to 7:30 p.m. on June 29 to begin community education about the recently updated Community Wildfire Protection Plan in Golden.

Join the Parks Department and consultants on Monday, July 11 in the Golden Community Center from 6 to 7 p.m. for a meeting to update the community on the progress of the Open Space Master Plan.

Since access to the outdoors is part of daily life in the City of Golden, the City is seeking feedback from people who live near natural areas or open spaces, people who enjoy and seek more access to the outdoors, conservationists, and more. We encourage everyone with an investment in Golden’s natural areas and open space to attend this public meeting in order to share their opinions and receive an opportunity to complete a survey after the meeting that will inform decisions related to the Open Spaces Master Plan.

The primary purpose of the Parks and Recreation Open Space Master Plan is to create a clear and concise mission, vision, definition, and system of classification for open spaces within the City of Golden. Learn more about the Open Space Master Plan on Guiding Golden. New
