Description<br />
The Parks, Trails and Open Space Program administers the goals and objectives of the City Council and the Parks,<br />
Trails and Recreation (PTR) Commission to provide personal enjoyment through the planning, design and<br />
construction of its parks, trails and open spaces.<br />
Accomplishments<br />
The construction of the Goldsmith Gulch Trail Extension and Caley Avenue Undercrossing project was completed as<br />
well as the design of the Goldsmith Gulch channel restoration. The design for Phase IV implementation of the Village<br />
Greens North Master Plan was completed to include an improved entry with shelters and a restroom. Field #11 at<br />
Village Greens Park was converted from a natural turf field to a synthetic. Outdoor musical instruments were installed<br />
at Westlands Park and Senior Outdoor Exercise Equipment at Curtis Park. The irrigation system in Orchard Hills Park<br />
was upgraded. The missing section of trail along the west edge of Monaco Park was constructed. The Running Fox<br />
Park pond was restored to provide an amenity for the area. The feasibility study was completed for the High Line<br />
Canal Stormwater Demonstration project.<br />
Goals/Objectives<br />
In <strong>2018</strong>, the construction of Phase IV of the Village Greens North Master Plan will be completed. The construction of<br />
the Goldsmith Gulch Channel Restoration will be completed between Caley Avenue and Fair Avenue. The Silo Park<br />
Playground will be updated with new equipment. The Greenwood Gulch Trail Crossing will be improved by an<br />
