Foothills Park & Recreation District was established on December 31, 1959 as South Jeffco Metropolitan Recreation and
Park District and consisted of one park site.
The District was renamed Foothills in 1970 and
currently maintains forty-one
developed park sites, three regional parks, eight community parks, thirteen miles of trails, 2 public golf course facilities and fourteen reservoirs/ponds and conservation
areas totaling more than 3,079 acres of public land.
The District boundaries encompass about 28 square miles and serves a population of approximately 90,000 residents.
Foothills offers over 4,000 classes and programs which include a wide variety of programs for all ages.
The red rocks of the hogback provide a spectacularly beautiful backdrop for our geographical
boundaries, which generally are Hampden Avenue on the north, Sheridan Boulevard on the east
and C-470 on the south and west. Other areas we serve that fall just outside the complex
street boundaries are Sixth Avenue West, Mesa View Estates, Bear Creek subdivision and
Lochwood subdivision. All areas served by Foothills Park & Recreation District are within
unincorporated Jefferson County.
