Open Space And Trails Mission Statement

The Open Space and Trails staff is committed to:
Enhancing the community’s quality of life by acquiring open space to preserve water resources, wildlife, agricultural uses, and unique geographic features so that every resident is able to have a positive connection with the natural environment.
Creating a comprehensive network of trails so that every citizen has the opportunity to walk and bicycle to open space, parks, neighborhoods, schools, commercial centers, and public facilities throughout the community.

 

For information on Open Space, Trails, Meetings, the Wildlife Policy, and the Open Space, Parks, Recreation, and Trails Master Plan, and other open space related topics please visit our web site at www.BroomfieldOpenSpace.com.
