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
Ways to Give

We are a group of passionate stewards who care for the South Platte River and its tributaries, and for the people who live, work, and play along its banks.

Very cool trip and was extremely pleased with the organization/implementation of the trip! We will be back and appreciate the hard work that goes into planning these trips.

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.

 
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.

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!”

Go outside with drawing supplies. Find a comfy spot. Lay on your back and look up at the sky. What shapes do you see in the clouds? Draw what you see.

We and our camper LOVED SPREE. She (and we) found the camp to be organized, interesting, and well-run, with excellent communication.
