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.

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.

Wait for a day when it is raining or snowing. This is precipitation, or water that falls from the sky. All this water eventually becomes part of the lakes and rivers in our ecosystem. Stand in the precipitation. How do you feel? Notice what it looks like when it reaches the ground. Stomp around and listen. What do you hear?

The activities were great. They were informative and engaging! The SPREE teachers were prepared, thoughtful and knew how to work with the kids.

GLC has definitely changed the way I view the environment. My favorite part of GLC has been being able to go and do things I wouldn’t usually do, like rafting and trail building. I thought that was a really fun experience that you don’t usually get the chance to experience and I made a lot of really cool memories during those trips.
