Jefferson County Open Space (JCOS) Parks and Trails

Where: Jefferson County Open Space, Ponderosa Room.
700 Jefferson County Parkway #100
Golden, CO 80401
Why: We need your input on:
- What you like and don't like about the JCOS parks and trails.
- What is your desired experience at the parks, and how is JCOS meeting those experiences.
- What you'd like to see more of at the parks.
- What you'd like see changed.
- Where you'd like to see the parks go in the future? This includes issues such as trailhead size/locations, separate access for different user groups, trail design and placement, parking, facilities (e.g., signs, bathrooms, benches, trash bins, park hours, etc.
- Development plans - for example, on the newly acquired North and South Table Mountain properties.
- Wildlife, ecosystems, sensitive areas, natural resources, etc.
- How to balance preservation and wild characteristics with recreational uses.
- Neighborhood concerns
- Conflicts with other users and pets, and how to resolve those issues.
JCOS management is very open to input for park
users. However, they can only respond to the voices they hear. Bikers and Equestrians, the other representative groups on the Trail Use Task Force (TUTF), are very well organized. It's important that the pedestrian groups become organized so that JCOS can address our needs too.
Organized by:
- Eric Finstick, Hiker Representative on the TUTF
- Dru Dunham, TUTF Alternate
- Adam Feerst, Denver Trail Runners
Trail Use Task Force Mission Statement:
The purpose of the Trail Use Task Force is to identify trail conflicts and make recommendations for their solution to the Open Space Advisory Committee, the Open Space staff, and the and the BCC (Board of County Commissioner) that will not deprive any user of a safe, quality experience when using the parks and
trails while considering protection of the natural resource.
