Parks
Located near the mouth of Clear Creek in the foothills west of Denver, the City of Golden Parks Division maintains 72 public land sites including 253 acres of parks and 377 acres of open space. These areas include 12 community parks and 4 independent trail systems.

The Parks Division provides dedicated commitment to the Golden community. Our efforts strive to deliver efficient, diversified and adaptable service to conserve a natural foothills urban setting. This year round environment must be fun, safe, clean and usable to provide a quality experience for the park user.

Forestry
The City Forester is responsible for administering the City's right-of-way tree maintenance program, among other duties. Citizens can expect to see tree care operations on busy streets such as Ford, Washington and Jackson as some of the City's older trees are given much needed attention.

These efforts include some removals of hazardous trees in poor condition, trimming of many others and replacements of those removed. This work is all part of a focus on keeping the City's older trees healthy and beautifying our streets.
