Sustainable Parks Initiative

The Trails and Open Space Coalition was leading a citizen effort to find sustainable solutions to our city and county parks budget cuts. General fund money for city parks had been reduced by 84% in 2010. County parks had seen a 60% cut in funding. The result is closed bathrooms, less irrigation, less trash removal and reduced maintenance.
If you would like to support the Great Parks - Great Communities initiative as a volunteer or financially, contact TOSC at 633-6884 or go to www.trailsandopenspaces.org |

Colorado Springs Parks and Recreation Department working with the Trails and Open Space Coalition and various other partners offered crew leader training in April of 2012 and will offer another session in the spring of 2013.. The training is free to those willing to volunteer and lead a maintenance crew in one of the region's open spaces or parks. Trainees will learn how to work with parks to create an appropriate volunteer project. They will also learn basic trail maintenance, safety, crew leader training and other skills. Check our calendar or contact city parks for more details. |
