Parks and Recreation Capital Projects

O'Brien Park Playground

Playground is now open! A planning process was completed with the community in 2019 to identify improvements needed for the O’Brien Park Playground. Due to COVID, the project construction was put on hold. In late 2021, the project was re-initiated, and the park reopened in 2022.

Work includes intersection modifications for a future parking lot on the north side of the intersection. Work for the access project is scheduled to be completed by late summer 2023. Open space improvements, which need to be completed before the space is available for public use, are tentatively scheduled to be completed by late 2023.

Salisbury North Park Expansion

The Town of Parker owns 90 acres of land adjacent to the Salisbury Equestrian Park and Sports Complex in the Cherry Creek Corridor.  The Salisbury North Park is scheduled to be designed in 2023. The park amenities on the master plan include multi-use turf fields, baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, pickleball courts, play areas, pavilions, trails, parking and landscaping. Park amenities will most likely be built in phases depending on available funding and approval by Town Council. The first phase of construction is anticipated to start in 2024.

The Trails at Crowfoot residential community located south of Stroh Ranch near Crowfoot Valley Road is currently under construction and will include a new centrally located 17-acre community park. Find more information about the Trails at Crowfoot Community Park here.
