The Citywide Park Improvements Program focuses on enhancing parks throughout the community to improve safety, accessibility, and overall user experience. Through targeted upgrades and long-term investments, the City aims to modernize park amenities, address deferred maintenance, and ensure parks remain welcoming, inclusive, and well-maintained spaces for residents of all ages. Improvements are prioritized based on community needs, condition assessments, and available funding.
Hecker Pass Park Shade StructureThe Hecker Pass Park Shade Structure project will add new shade amenities to improve comfort and usability for park visitors. The improvements are designed to support year-round recreation while enhancing the overall park experience.
The project is currently awaiting the installation of the shade sails. The shade canopy itself will be installed in 2-3 weeks, and no additional closures are expected during that phase.
Las Animas Veteran Park Restroom RehabilitationThe City is planning a restroom rehabilitation project at Las Animas Veteran Park (Oaks side) to improve functionality, accessibility, and overall visitor experience.
The project is currently under construction, with the new park restroom scheduled for delivery on March 10th. Overall project completion is anticipated in April 2026.
The Las Animas Veteran Park Tennis Courts Five and Six and Basketball Courts Resurfacing project will improve playability and safety by restoring the court surfaces and refreshing court striping. This work will address surface wear and extend the useful life of the courts for community use.
