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
