Emma Long public meetings planned for next month

As part of the vision plan for Emma Long Metropolitan Park, the city’s Parks and Recreation Department will be holding three public meetings and two focus groups to get input. In an attempt to attract as many people as possible – including families – the Parks Department will be hosting “exciting kid and family friendly activities” during the meeting. A press release from the city clarifies that those activities will tentatively include park ranger sharing, “Leave No Trace” activities and the Colorado River Alliance rolling exhibit. The first meeting will be held on Saturday, Nov. 7, at Emma Long Metropolitan Park, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. More information can be found on the project Web page.
