Let’s build the future of Aurora together

The city of Aurora is planning the future of its Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department. The purpose of this project is to understand the community's needs now and into the future.

Aurora has 8,000 acres of open space, 99 developed parks, two reservoirs, three nature centers, five golf courses, six recreation centers and 10 community pools.

You are at the heart of this story. Together, let’s create a parks, open spaces and recreation system throughout Aurora which reflects the beauty and diversity of our community.

What do you want your parks, recreation and open space to look like?


Upcoming Events:

  • Draft of the master plan available for public review in October 2023. Check back here for the link.
  • Review and share your thoughts on the master plan at Fall Into Fun, Saturday, Oct. 14, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway


Project Vision and Themes:

Equitable Access: How do we ensure everyone can enjoy Aurora’s parks, programs, events and facilities?

Community Connections: How can Aurora’s diverse communities be celebrated in our parks, open spaces and recreation?

Healthy and Safety: How do we improve health and safety of ourselves, our community and our environment?

Operational Efficiencies: How can we maintain our parks, open spaces and recreation facilities, both new and old?

Sustainable Growth: How can we grow as a city while protecting the nature around us?

    Hello. There is a major shortage of playing fields for our local Aurora baseball and softball players. Big corporate seems to monopolize the land. We need fields locally rather than having our kids travel out of state for tournaments. I am part of a group looking for land to build fields to help bring IN tournaments and teams to play in Colorado and spend money in Colorado. Thank you Joe

    Joe Imbriani asked about 1 year ago

    Thank you for reaching out, Joe. In phase 2 of the master plan starting in September we will be asking the community about the type of spaces and programs they want to see in the future. We will save this comment as part of the public input and hope that you’ll attend our upcoming open house scheduled for Sept. 20 (more details coming soon) to share your ideas. In addition, if you are part of a development group and have a proposal for more fields, feel free to reach out to Aurora’s Office of Development Assistance at devassist@auroragov.org to discuss opportunities. Thanks!
