Project Update | Dec. 17, 2025
Following several months of community engagement and input, a draft East Zone Amenity Vision Plan has been prepared. The draft document includes recommendations for all of the city properties in the Heart of Golden East Zone, located east of Washington Avenue.
The draft document will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board at their January 15, 2026 meeting and to City Council February 10, 2026.
The Heart of Golden project aims to make the Clear Creek Corridor more usable and desirable for residents while providing needed space for Police and City services. Phase 1 of the Heart of Golden intends to move the Police and Municipal Building from the Creek Corridor to east of Washington Avenue. Phase 2 includes refining the Creek Corridor with more resident-specific amenities.

East End Amenities - Identify on the map what amenities you'd like to see between Parfet Park and the Police and Municipal Building.
What we have heard so far:
The City incorporated community feedback from the three community meetings in 2024, focused on environmental sustainability, modified the funding strategy to further prioritize affordability, and is continuing community conversations about amenities along the corridor. We will use this feedback to guide our vision for the East Amenity Zone Plan.
Improvements to the Clear Creek Corridor should:
Improve walkability, bikeability, and connectivity
Preserve natural spaces and historic character
Focus on benefits for residents and their quality of life
Ensure accessibility and inclusivity
Support community events and facilities
Improve access to public transit
