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.

Learn About Greenway

We wanted to thank you for running such a fantastic program this summer for our son! We have been continually impressed every single day with the curriculum, outdoor time, safety, respect and all that he is learning about the environment.

Chompers – Mission 5

Find a good book. Make sure it’s one you really want to read. Now, take that book outside. Find a comfy spot and read for 30 minutes. When you’re done, think about how you feel.

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!”

Chompers – Mission 8

Head outside with pencil and paper for a walk. It could be in your neighborhood, in a park, or – best of all – along the river. Make a list or draw pictures of all the wildlife you see. Birds, insects, and mammals.

Take the same walk another day. Do you see the same or different wildlife?

As a third generation Denverite, I am proud to support The Greenway Foundation’s success in returning the South Platte to something we can be proud of. While TGF’s impact on Denver and her surrounding communities is immeasurable, the work is far from over. Their continued efforts toward science education and green initiatives make them an essential partner to the success of our city.

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.
