Question Title

* 1. What is your connection to Woodland Park?

Avenger Open Space is a stunning 120-acre public open space purchase by the City of Woodland Park in early 2024. The acquisition was made possible thanks to a more than $500,000 grant from Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), significant donations from the members of the community, and support from the City of Woodland Park. Avenger Open Space features beautiful meadows, large stands of conifer trees, peaceful aspen groves, and exceptional views of Pikes Peak and Woodland Park. The property was slated for development but is now protected, in perpetuity, for current visitors and future generations.AOS Map
