Project Summary:

The Open Space, Parks, Recreation and Trails (OSPRT) Plan is a 20-year policy document intended to serve as a road map for Broomfield staff, elected officials, advisory committees, and the community to guide decisions about Open Space, Parks, recreation, and trails. The goal of the OSPRT Plan is to ensure that Broomfield’s vision of the community is carried forward into the future and to promote a strong sense of unity, pride, and identity. It includes an analysis of Broomfield’s current and future needs for Open Space, Parks, recreation, and trail facilities. The plan also outlines specific implementation strategies that will assist in achieving the community’s goals to acquire additional Open Lands and trails, preserve natural resources, and enhance existing spaces and facilities. Citizens may also look to the OSPRT Plan for guidance regarding the goals and commitments aimed at ensuring a sustainable future for Broomfield. The Plan is meant to be reviewed and amended to remain current with changing conditions within and outside Broomfield and is intended to be flexible as Broomfield continues to change and develop over the next 20 years.

Public Engagement Summary:

The OSPRT Plan is the result of sustained effort over a 2-year period that included the Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee (OSTAC), the Parks, Recreation and Senior Services Advisory Committee (PRSSAC), public engagement survey results and comments, City Council comments, and research and analysis by City staff and consultants. Community outreach was a part of the planning process from start to finish. Public engagement included 819 survey responses, 6 focus group meetings, 18 pop up events and other outreach efforts that were analyzed and summarized and utilized as a central guide in the planning process.

The City and County of Broomfield (CCOB) implemented a combination of focus group discussions, community events, a survey, and conversations with diverse populations to elicit feedback throughout the OSPRT Plan process. This feedback shaped the update of existing strategies that protect and preserve Broomfield’s open space, parks, trails, natural resources, and recreational amenities for the coming years.
