The Greenway Foundation

A cleaner, safer, more accessible river for all.

Ever biked along the South Platte River, picnicked in Confluence Park, attended a SPREE excursion or summer camp, or caught a trout in downtown Denver? Then you know The Greenway Foundation’s work.

Allow us to introduce ourselves.

What We Do
Ways to Give

We are a group of passionate stewards who care for the South Platte River and its tributaries, and for the people who live, work, and play along its banks.

My child had a blast on his 3rd grade field trip to Confluence Park. He came back with so many facts about the area. It was fun for us too!

River Ranger Intern

The River Ranger internship made me more environmentally conscious, and it showed me I have a passion for teaching others about the environment once I learn about it….I got to meet a lot of cool people and make a bunch of new friends.

Director of Planning, Design and Construction | Denver Parks & Recreation

I have worked hand-in-hand with the Greenway Foundation for over 15 years to advocate, dream, vision, plan, design and construct improvements to the South Platte River in Denver. We didn’t have two nickels to rub together when we began, but we had the passion, history and expertise of this non-profit that never takes “no” for an answer and now we have invested nearly $100 million in river improvements and we were just awarded $350 million in federal funding to complete the restoration of Denver’s greatest natural resource. Amazing! Thank you Greenway Foundation.

 
Chompers – Mission 7

Ask an adult to help you find seeds and a place outdoors where you have permission to plant them. After the seeds are in the ground, make sure they have water, sun, and soil to thrive. Enjoy watching them grow!

 
Chompers – Mission 6

Litter is trash that isn’t thrown away properly. It makes parks less fun to be in, and can hurt animals and plants. With an adult – and some gloves – pick up litter in your neighborhood or local park.
