The federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, run in Colorado by Colorado Parks and Wildlife, helps public agencies buy land, build local parks and protect open space. Recent projects include new playgrounds, picnic shelters, sports courts and trails. Cities, counties and other public agencies planning park or playground work should apply.
Could a playground win this?
Strong fit High confidence
Past LWCF projects in Colorado include new playgrounds at public parks, so a park playground by a public agency fits well. Funded sites must stay dedicated to public outdoor recreation permanently.
Featured highlights include a new playground, sports courts, and trails at Birch Park (Rifle), climbing boulders, multi-purpose field, and a bike pump track at Trent Park (Silverthorne), a playground, picnic shelter, and off-leash dog park at Wright Park (Lakewood), and upgraded lake trail paths at Lake Minnequa Park and Open Space (Pueblo).
The following section provides guidance, requirements, and documentation for public agencies seeking LWCF grant funding in Colorado.
