OVERVIEW
Cherry Creek Vista Park & Recreation District owns and maintains six tennis courts, a swimming pool, four parks, and
four playgrounds. The District also maintains 2.6 miles of county rights-of-way along Havana Street, Orchard Road, and
portions of Cherry Creek Drive. The District also maintains the adjacent brick privacy fence along those same rights-of-way.
NEW PLAYGROUNDS IN CCV
Plans are in the works to make improvements to Peakview Park and playground in conjunction with connecting a
trail to the Cottonwood Trail corridor from Peakview Park. Plans also include extending a walking/jogging trail
around the perimeter of Peakview Park. The District hopes to have its plan fully completed by January 1, 2011 in
order to submit an application for funding from Great Outdoors Colorado. The project is similar to the project
that was recently completed at Sunset Park and Orchard Park.
The playground replacements were made possible in part by over fifty community volunteers, GOCO matching grant
from Great Outdoors Colorado and grants from Arapahoe County Parks, Trails, & Open Space. Old asphalt trails at
Sunset and Orchard Parks were also replaced with a smoother and more durable concrete surface. With these grants,
the District was able to significantly improve the two parks.
PET WASTE
All owners are required to clean up after their pets. Pet waste smells, can spread germs, and can get into the
Cherry Creek Reservoir via storm drainage if not properly disposed. Pet waste is a problem for our children playing in the parks.
It is a problem for landscape crews. It increases the cost of our landscape maintenance. There are waste pick-up dispensers
located in each of our parks and on the south side of Orchard Road. If a dispenser is empty or damaged, please contact
Howard Buchalter. Owners are also reminded to keep their pets on-leash at all times in District parks and trails for the
safety and comfort of other users.
VANDALISM
Vandalism increases the cost of maintaining our parks by damaging play equipment. Graffiti is unsightly. Talk to your
kids about not committing vandalism and encourage them to report any vandalism. If you witness vandalism or see areas
that need repair, please contact Howard Buchalter.
