Roxborough Village Master Plan 2020

Vision

The Vision for Roxborough Village reflects community input collected throughout the planning process, as well as previous plans and ongoing conversations that reflect the voice of the community. Guided by this vision, the material and recommendations included in the Master Plan for Parks, Recreation and Open Space articulates a range of strategies and concepts. This “plan on a page” illustrates the key priorities and building blocks of the Master Plan that will bolster Roxborough Village as a small community nestled at the footsteps of the Rocky Mountains.

TRANSFORMATIVE THEMES

The Master Plan intends to bring about tangible change through four major themes: ENHANCE, CONNECT, REINVIGORATE, and IMPLEMENT – which build on the existing character of Roxborough Village while setting a course for the future. Each of the themes work together to form a cohesive, long-term vision for the community.

Recommendations: An array of recommendations, ranging from short-term “quick win” improvements to mid- and long-term improvements, is outlined under each strategy.

1

TRAIL & CONNECTIVITY

Retain open space’s natural character by enhancing Little Willow Creek, providing more access to the Dakota Hogbacks and making improvements to areas along Rampart Range Road.

2

OPEN SPACE

Improve internal and external trail connections and access by working with partners to create continuous bike and pedestrian connections to Waterton Canyon, Chatfield State Park and Roxborough State Parks. Improve internal walkability by adding new paths and pedestrian-priority crossings.

3

NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS

Modernize each neighborhood park as an amenity by adding nature play areas, themed play structures, shade and seating so they can become social and activity hubs for all ages.

4

PROGRAMMING

Introduce annual programming and organized activities into the open space and parks such as farmer’s markets, fairs, festivals, walks/runs, summer concerts that promote community participation, health, wellness and active lifestyles.

5

RECREATION

Improve, enhance, and build new District recreational facilities by updating frequently used facilities such as the ball field and multi-purpose field, and repurposing underutilized courts such as volleyball and basketball.

6

COMMUNITY CENTER AND/OR POOL

A community center, pool, and gathering place were identified by the community as highly desire amenities. Considerations and further studies are needed to determine locations for potential community center and/or pool.
