Our Parks, Our Places: A Plan for Aurora’s Parks, Recreation and Open Space

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?
