Foothills Park & Recreation District

Dear District Residents and Foothills Patrons, We are pleased to announce that ballot measure 6D, the 2.75 mill levy continuation, was approved by District residents with over 75% voting in favor of the measure! The continuation of this mill levy does not raise taxes. It extends an existing mill levy originally approved by voters in November 2017. Since 2018, we have made necessary and impactful improvements to over 32 park and trail sites, including on-going work to extend the Dutch Creek Trail, as well as major improvements to two outdoor pools, improvements at our golf courses with an amazing new clubhouse at Foothills Golf Course, and enhancements to facilities and operations. Increased maintenance practices have also resulted in more beautiful parks and facilities. Going forward, we will continue: - Improving District parks, trails and open spaces - Repairing and updating aging infrastructure - Providing more recreation opportunities to the community - Improving water conservation and energy efficiency - Ensuring more parks and facilities are accessible to people with disabilities The District will continue the tradition of fiscal responsibility we have been committed to over the years, working efficiently and remaining good stewards of taxpayer dollars. The continued funding will be used to address important capital improvements to parks, trails and facilities as outlined in the District’s Vision 2030 Master Plan. We look forward to working with residents and patrons of our great District to improve your recreation, parks and golf amenities. I know I speak for our Board of Directors and all of our dedicated staff members that we are excited to be able to move forward with continued improvements throughout the District. We truly appreciate that the community has put their trust in us, and I pledge to you that we will work hard to effectively utilize the continued funding to make our Foothills community the best it can be for everyone. Ronald Hopp Executive Director

We were so proud to show off the new, state-of-the-art Foothills Golf Course clubhouse at a Grand Opening & Dedication event last week. Avid golfers and local community members were treated to an evening enjoying all of the beautiful new amenities that highlight the building’s sweeping views of the Rocky Mountain foothills. The indoor-outdoor living we enjoy in Colorado is on full display with a large terrace, plenty of patio seating and a wall of glass doors that allow a seamless transition from the bar into the fresh air. The clubhouse also features expanded lounging and seating areas in our new restaurant, a large pro shop, and a top-of-the-line golf simulator coming soon! We’d like to thank all of the community members who came together to make this project happen; our current and past board members, the members of our various golf leagues, our staff and the public at large.
