Protect. Connect. Enjoy. Map

Want to know which parks, trails and open spaces have benefited from the Arapahoe County Open Space tax?

Just click on our Protect. Connect. Enjoy. Map  to learn about the new and improved parks, trails and open spaces in your neighborhood and across the County. It’s easy to use: enter your address, click and zoom or select a park near you.

Many of these projects wouldn't be possible without the support of the Arapahoe County Open Space sales tax , which was generously approved by voters in 2003. For every $100 spent in the County, 25 cents is collected for the preservation of open space and outdoor recreation. For more information on each project, contact the local jurisdiction or recreation district.
