Update June 13, 2020:
We are excited to announce we are re-opening with restrictions on Monday, June 15. There is a lot of information to absorb, so we have tried to make some easy reference documents for you to review right here on the website. We have a Re-Opening Playbook where we plan to have three different stages as we cautiously re-open our facilities and activities. We have a quick reference sheet to see the status of many activities and an FAQ sheet. Many of these changes will be temporary, but necessary for now. We are excited to have you back! This will be different for all of us, so please be patient as we all try to get through this together! Everything is subject to change especially if CO or Jefferson County Health Orders change, but check out what we have planned starting the week of June 15. Go to Community Announcement Page

March 13, 2020:
Starting Monday, March 16, Evergreen Park & Recreation District (EPRD) will be closing all facilities (BPRC, WRC, Evergreen Lake House, EPRD Admin Office, and Park Operations) to the public. This means all classes, public meetings, programs, including Spring Break camps are cancelled/postponed during this time. We are working to reschedule programs to the best of our ability and will contact those participants when plans are finalized.
With this unprecedented health situation, EPRD is being proactive and following along with the school district to create social distancing and prevent community transmission. There have been NO confirmed COVID-19 cases at EPRD. During this closure, EPRD staff will be taking this time to deep clean our facilities so we will be ready to go when we re-open. Our anticipated opening date will be Monday, March 30. We will provide any updates on our website.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding during this time.
