Parks <br />1. Little Dry Creek <br />Pocket Park <br />2. Informal Picnic Area <br /> <br />Skirting the Englewood Golf Course for much of this reach, the existing <br />spine trail follows the river's east bank from the Oxford pedestian bridge <br />to a point south of Hampden near Bear Creek confluence. There, it crosses <br />on a pedestrian bridge to join the west-bank trail which was built in 1984 <br />by the Greenway Foundation, Colorado Division of Parks and Outdoor <br />Recreation, and the South Suburban Parks Foundation. <br /> <br />B.

Boat Landings <br /> <br />Under the Colorado Greenway program, 17 miles of tributary trail were <br />1 inked together along the South Pl atte, Bear Creek, Ki p 1 i ng Parkway and <br />Sanderson Gulch to form a loop trail connecting to the major Platte River <br />Greenway trail and providing access to the system for thousands of people <br />near the corridors. This is a model which the consultants recommend be <br />followed along most of the tributaries to the river. Corridor preservation <br />should begin immediately. <br /> <br />D.

Home to Heron and other <br />wildlife species which depend on the habitat, additional wetland areas <br />should be created in the preserve if at all possible. Access and auto <br />parking could be provided on the river's west bank near Oxford. Additional <br />access areas are recommended at several locations convenient to the trail <br />system and linear park through this reach. <br /> <br />Reach 3: Annual 0 & M Cost <br /> <br />Routine Maintenance <br />1.
