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

Happy Mom

Parent of SPREE Summer Camper

My boys have been talking about SPREE camp for months. When we were looking at all the camps in Denver for this summer, the first camp they shouted out was “SPREE!”

SPREE Scholarship Family

We are so thankful that my child was able to participate in Summer Camp last week! I, as a parent, am thankful that we were able to have scholarships and be a part of this amazing outdoor camp. Thanks Greenway!

Fourth Grade Teacher from McMeen Elementary

SPREE Field Trip Teacher

Due to our student population at the school, students often do not gain experiences like this one and we are very grateful for the opportunity. Thank you so much!

The Greenway Foundation has helped transform the South Platte River into the recreational resource that it is today. Myself and others have created lives centered around the South Platte River and the many parks that the Greenway Foundation has helped create. There aren’t many cities where you can have breakfast riverside in a beautiful park, then paddle downtown for your next meal, before catching a light rail train home. Thank you Greenway Foundation for your help in making the South Platte River corridor what it is today.

Mara Maxwell

Lead Designer and Project Manager - Maxco Innovative Builders, Inc.

Participating in the Clean Water Challenge as a student was an interesting project that presented a lot of unusual challenges. As designers we want to make beautiful things, but creating something that cleans up trash efficiently while not marring the beautiful Colorado landscape was a unique experience. Of course, winning the design challenge with Nautilus was incredibly rewarding on its own, but getting to see your idea come to life and function as intended in the real world is quite remarkable.

Ashley Dodge

Director of Growth, BIGWIDESKY

I loved volunteering with The Greenway Foundation for Washington University in St. Louis’s day of service. It gave me a chance to meet members in the community that also care about our waterways. You can share all the memes, articles, and long winded diatribes online or you can roll up your sleeves, put on some gloves, and actively work to make a difference. This made me feel more connected and inspired to join as a FRoG (Friend of Greenway) to continue to support this great cause.
