Mountain Recreation has launched a districtwide Master Plan and Feasibility Study to guide the future of our programs, facilities and services across western Eagle County.

We serve more than 33,000 residents across 880 square miles from Edwards to Dotsero. From the Edwards Field House and Freedom Park to Gypsum Recreation Center, Eagle Pool and Ice Rink and McCoy Equestrian Center, our facilities are part of daily life for thousands of families.

Now we are asking an important question:

What do we want to be when we grow up?

This planning process will help us evaluate what we offer today, identify gaps and understand what our community needs for the next 10 to 15 years. The final plan will create a roadmap to guide decisions, prioritize investments and align services with community values.

We have partnered with BerryDunn, a consulting firm that works with parks and recreation agencies across Colorado. Their team will support data analysis, community engagement and financial feasibility planning.

Community input is central to this process.

Residents will have opportunities to participate through surveys, public meetings and focused outreach. Your feedback will help us evaluate programs, assess facility needs and explore possibilities such as additional indoor recreation and ice space.

An effective recreation district reflects the community it serves. This is your chance to help shape what Mountain Recreation looks like in the future.

The Master Plan and Feasibility Study will conclude in fall 2026, and results will be shared with the board of directors and the community.
