Lot’s of exciting projects beginning in Highlands Ranch
Summer is here and all the new summer projects have begun. Many are exciting projects for outdoor enthusiasts in Highlands Ranch.
Beginning June 5, 2009 the Highlands Ranch Metro Districts took control of the Spring Gulch Equestrian area from the Colorado State Parks. The HRMD district is making the 105 acre site more accessible to the public by reducing fees and improving the facility which has been used for equestrians for 30 years. I have been taking daily walks along the Spring Gulch Equestrian area for some time, as it is along the route that I walk my dog. It will be interesting to see how this develops within Highlands Ranch.
In addition to the equestrian facility improvements, part of this project will add a fishing pier and trail to the Spring Gulch pond located on the west side of Santa Fe Drive. Also, the trailhead access will be put in place directly south of 
Shea Stadium for the East-West regional trail linking this area to the Lone Tree area through the new BackCountry wilderness area which also opened this weekend.
These newest projects represent the many, many reasons that make Highlands Ranch a wonderful place to live and play. Get out there and enjoy!

Hi Steve,
I just passed by your blog. That area looks nice for development but I sure hope that they would include “green” developments as well. There are lots of open space perfect for placing solar panels and since a mountain range is near it, I assume there’s a regular breeze passing through the land which is perfect for some wind turbines. Anyway, these are just suggestions but I would love the developers if they could weave in these stuff beautifully.
Cheers,
Nicole
