Metzger Farm Open Space

Metzger Farm History

The property is in the city of Westminster, though it is bordered by Broomfield on its north and west sides. Metzger Farm is located in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Lowell Boulevard and West 120th Avenue. The Broomfield-Westminster Open Space Foundation was established by the two governmental entities to oversee the management of Metzger Farm.

Metzger Farm Open Space Plan

 The Master Plan provides an overview of:

• natural features and resources 
• farmstead history and building survey 
• proposed improvements for Metzger such as trails, wildlife viewing, fishing and building stabilization, as well as estimated costs/phasing 
• management practices 

Grants from Adams County Open Space, Great Outdoors Colorado and funding from Broomfield and Westminster were used to complete the project. Metzger Farm opened to the public on Nov. 10, 2012.

The Broomfield-Westminster Open Space Foundation (BWOSF)

In 2005, the City of Westminster and the City and County of Broomfield approved an Intergovernmental Agreement to create a foundation for the acquisition, financing, management and maintenance of Metzger Farm. The Broomfield-Westminster Open Space Foundation was thus established by the two governmental entities to oversee the management of the property. The foundation is dedicated to preserving the property's unique natural and historical features, providing compatible passive recreation and educational opportunities and ensuring sustainable stewardship for the enjoyment of future generations.

Contributions to the Broomfield-Westminster Open Space Foundation directly support the stewardship and maintenance of the historic 152-acre Metzger Farm.
