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.

SPREE was an awesome experience (again) for my son. The reports we got from him and the SPREE staff at HQ all point to a summer of learning and growth – especially as they relate to him taking on the role of Leader in Training. It was a fantastic opportunity for him, and I want to thank you for all your work in pulling this together and creating a great pathway to more experience and responsibility within SPREE.

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.

John Blackshire

Vice President, Transwestern

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.

Chompers – Mission 9

Head outside with paper and your favorite art supplies. Find a comfy spot where you can get creative. Draw or paint something from nature that you can see that inspires you. Or, create a river scene from your imagination.

The activities were great. They were informative and engaging! The SPREE teachers were prepared, thoughtful and knew how to work with the kids.

Jolon Clark

City Council Member, District 7

Denver would not be the City that it is without the efforts of The Greenway Foundation. The revitalization of the South Platte has defined who we are as a city, and the thousands of kids who have gone through the SPREE program have created a city full of river stewards who are redefining who we will become.
