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.

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.

Creating moments. Moments that create memories leading to generational momentum around the importance of water and our South Platte River. This is what The Greenway Foundation and their South Platte River Environmental Education (SPREE) provide to the residents of Denver. From overnight camping, to s’mores, to SPREE summer day camps, I have had so many great moments and memories along the South Platte River with my daughter. A truly special thanks to The Greenway Foundation, as well as Denver’s Department of Parks and Recreation, for continuing to champion and improve both the resiliency and the recreation along our beloved South Platte River.

This truly was the best guided fieldwork I have experienced in my 10 years of teaching! It was so thoughtfully planned. It definitely allowed me to be able to really jump in the fun and enjoy this experience with my kids.

Successful partnerships are about leveraging each other’s strengths to reach a shared vision. A great visionary established both TGF and MHFD, Joe Shoemaker, to complement each other in making our communities safer and stronger through engaging our waterways. TGF brings passion, awareness, and stakeholders to the table while MHFD works directly with local governments on management and implementation. Together we are able to accomplish holistic solutions that revitalize rivers and reconnect communities to protect people, property, and our environment.

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