The Greenway Foundation

A cleaner, safer, more accessible river for all.

Ever caught a trout in the South Platte, picnicked in Confluence Park, attended SPREE summer camp, or biked along our Colorado waterways? Then you know The Greenway Foundation’s work.

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

What We Do

John Blackshire

Vice President, Transwestern

The Greenway Foundation has helped transform the South Platte River into the recreational resource that it is today. Myself and others have created lives centered around the South Platte River and the many parks that the Greenway Foundation has helped create. There aren’t many cities where you can have breakfast riverside in a beautiful park, then paddle downtown for your next meal, before catching a light rail train home. Thank you Greenway Foundation for your help in making the South Platte River corridor what it is today.

Second Grade Teacher from Rocky Mountain Prep

SPREE Field Trip Teacher

I thought this was one of the best field trips I’ve ever taken my students on. Each activity was perfect for their age, super engaging, and timed well. It built well on what they’ve learned in science and they truly enjoyed it!

Litter is trash that isn’t thrown away properly. It makes parks less fun to be in, and can hurt animals and plants. With an adult – and some gloves – pick up litter in your neighborhood or local park.

Ivan Tochimani-Hernandez

GLC Participant & River Ranger

The Greenway Foundation has helped direct my track in my current major. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to learn about in college but my experiences through The Greenway Leadership Corps (GLC) and River Rangers helped me understand that ecology is much more than human’s interactions with the environment. I am now an Earth Science major at Dartmouth College, studying soil sciences with a focus on Agricultural systems – a huge shift from my previous thoughts before my Greenway experiences.

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

My boys have been talking about SPREE camp for months. When we were looking at all the camps in Denver for this summer, the first camp they shouted out was “SPREE!”

Thankful Mom

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

I tell all my family and friends in other cities about this amazing river and science camp in the heart of Denver. They can hardly believe it and wish their kids had the same opportunity.
