About us

Our Mission: Creating Community, Enhancing Health, Inspiring Play 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 Park & Recreation District in 1970. The District boundaries encompass about 24.2 square miles and serves a population of approximately 90,000 residents. Foothills offers over 4,000 programs annually which include a wide variety of offerings for all ages. Public recreational facilities include three recreation centers, one 2-sheet ice arena, two indoor and four outdoor swimming pools and two indoor sports facilities. Foothills' land inventory of 68 park sites total more than 2,400 acres including: four regional parks, 43 neighborhood and community parks, 21 greenbelts and two golf courses (two 18-hole courses, one executive 9 course and one par 3 course.) In addition, Foothills manages six regional trail corridors totaling 14.9 miles for public use. There are approximately 17.6 miles of internal park trails. 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.

  • We were so proud to show off the new, state-of-the-art Foothills Golf Course clubhouse at a Grand Opening & Dedication event last week. Avid golfers and local community members were treated to an evening enjoying all of the beautiful new amenities that highlight the building’s sweeping views of the Rocky Mountain foothills. The indoor-outdoor living we enjoy in Colorado is on full display with a large terrace, plenty of patio seating and a wall of glass doors that allow a seamless transition from the bar into the fresh air. The clubhouse also features expanded lounging and seating areas in our new restaurant, a large pro shop, and a top-of-the-line golf simulator coming soon! We’d like to thank all of the community members who came together to make this project happen; our current and past board members, the members of our various golf leagues, our staff and the public at large. A project like this cannot come together without everyone’s support of Foothills Park & Recreation District.
