The South River Greenway Master Plan

The River South Greenway Master Plan provided a vision for four distinct planning areas along the South Platte River; south to north between W. Dartmouth Avenue (the southern Denver city limit) to 20th Street and east to west from Broadway to Federal Boulevard. This plan was developed through partnerships with The Greenway Foundation, Colorado Conservation Board, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, The City and County of Denver Parks and Recreation and Public Works and Denver Water. The implementation of this plan will help create and improve parks, open space and related amenities that meet user need and provide guidance for future development as the City and County of Denver’s population increases. The River South Master Plan helps ensure that Denver can strategically plan for an interconnected, well planned and visually attractive River frontage.

Badger Gulch Park at Ridgegate

Badger Gulch Park, spanning 3.36 acres, is poised to become a serene yet vibrant natural gathering place on the east side of RidgeGate. It will be situated in the RidgeGate Village Center, where RidgeGate Parkway splits into one-way streets. This park will be a focal point for the community, accessible via an iconic pedestrian bridge that connects both sides of the park, providing access to the Badger Gulch regional trail, as well as connections to the nearby residential communities of Lyric at RidgeGate™ and the future South East Village.

Residents, especially those from the forthcoming senior housing community, will enjoy an array of amenities designed for relaxation and recreation. The park will feature a pavilion, picnic tables, a restroom, a showcase garden, fitness equipment, children’s play areas, and an inspiring public art installation, creating a lively and inclusive environment for all.

With generous support from the Rampart Range Metropolitan District, Badger Gulch Park will not only provide a beautiful space for leisure but also play a crucial role in preserving the local natural habitat for years to come.
