As we move forward on our community trail projects, we need volunteers to help with several new outreach programs. Please consider volunteering for one of these activities:
Speakers Bureau: Share the Foundation’s DVD presentation with neighborhood and community groups. Trail Ambassador: Travel the trail providing safety, support, and user information as needed. Host a Booth: Host a Foundation informational booth at a local community event. Helping Hands: Organize a trail clean-up for your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.

The Foundation’s work never stops! We are busy working on the following proposed trail projects that will provide valuable community links and outdoor opportunities.

TRAIL PROJECTS IN ACTION
The two primary projects the Foundation continues to partner on include the Centennial Regional Trail Link (CRTL) and the Littleton Community Trail. These future trails will provide diverse trail opportunities serving a wide range of communities. Upon completion, the CRTL will provide a significant east-west multi-use trail from University to the larger regional High Line Canal trail system. The Littleton Community Trail, in preliminary planning stages, will provide a crusher fine walking path through Littleton providing multiple community connections.

About the SSPF...
Founded in 1979, the South Suburban Park Foundation was created to enrich open spaces and to improve park and recreational amenities for residents of the south suburban communities of the metropolitan Denver area. We are a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization governed by an 11-member volunteer Board of Directors who represent businesses, civic groups, trail users and community members of the south metro area.
We invite you to come explore the past, present and future of the South Suburban Park Foundation. For more than a quarter century our vision has been instrumental in creating much-needed open space opportunities for south metro communities and residents of all ages.
Margaret Mead once said "never doubt what a small group of committed people can accomplish." In the early 1980's, Mary Hampton Carter took on the task of leading such a group of committed people. Aimed with a vision and little more that $5 in the South Suburban Park Foundation treasury, she stepped forward to lead what seemed to be a daunting task— the creation of an 8-mile, $4 million greenway running the length of Platte through Arapahoe County. That’s just the beginning!
Being a non-profit community organization, the South Suburban Park Foundation accepts and encourages grants and contributions from public and private partners to help us meet our mission. For additional information on how you can join our legacy, please visit our Newsletter page.
