The Greenway Foundation

A cleaner, safer, more accessible river for all.

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

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

What We Do

Dara H.

Parent of SPREE School Break Camper

SPREE is hands down (my child’s) favorite camp EVER and she has dedicated a spot in her room specifically to “SPREE Memories.”

Caden

Leader In Training

I love teaching children what I know. I also really really really love SPREE. I want the kids at the camp to have as much fun as I did when I was there.

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.

First Grade Teacher from Cory

SPREE School Teacher

The content was valuable, interesting, and age-appropriate. The activities were fun, useful, and worthwhile. You guys have the best field trip in the city. Nice work. You all deserve an award!

Chompers – Mission 4

Ask an adult to take you to a local park. Before you run to play, take a walk around the park together. Notice the plants and animals that you see. Point out things that you think are interesting, and ask what is interesting to your adult.

Gordon Robertson

Director of Planning, Design and Construction | Denver Parks & Recreation

I have worked hand-in-hand with the Greenway Foundation for over 15 years to advocate, dream, vision, plan, design and construct improvements to the South Platte River in Denver. We didn’t have two nickels to rub together when we began, but we had the passion, history and expertise of this non-profit that never takes “no” for an answer and now we have invested nearly $100 million in river improvements and we were just awarded $350 million in federal funding to complete the restoration of Denver’s greatest natural resource. Amazing! Thank you Greenway Foundation.
