Message from CPRA’s Interim Executive Director, Dede de Percin
Over the past several weeks, I’ve had the chance to meet with staff, board members, and many of CPRA’s section leaders and members. What stands out immediately is the depth of their commitment to this field, each other, and building communities. This is a network of people who care deeply about the role parks
and recreation play in quality of life—from access to public spaces, to youth development, to connecting people. I’m glad to be part of CPRA as it has an important role in advancing the profession, developing leaders, and bringing that work together across Colorado.
In the near term, my focus is on supporting staff, advancing the 2026 priorities in the strategic plan, and strengthening the systems and infrastructure that help CPRA run

I value the contributions of section leadership, volunteers, members, and industry partners that are central to CPRA’s success. I’m available to you as a resource and partner, and I look forward to working alongside you to support the work happening across Colorado.

By Jodi Ross, OLC
OLC Announces New Interior Design Team Staff
OLC has promoted Brenda Amsberry to Director of Interior Design and expanded its interiors team with the addition of Marketa Hollingsworth and Corina Folts. Based in the firm’s Denver office, Amsberry will lead OLC’s interior design practice, guiding design strategy and mentoring the growing interiors team while supporting projects nationwide. Amsberry has played a key role in shaping the interior environments of many of OLC’s recreation, wellness, aquatic, and hospitality projects, focusing on creating spaces that enhance community engagement, support wellness, and provide durable, highperforming environments.
The firm has also added Marketa Hollingsworth, Architect/Interior Designer, and welcomed back Corina Folts, Associate Principal and Senior Interior Designer. Hollingsworth brings 18 years of experience, including 12 years specializing in interior architecture, space planning, and FF&E specification. Folts previously worked with OLC from 2005 to 2007 and returns in a senior leadership role with an award-winning portfolio spanning community, higher education, healthcare, and hospitality environments. Their addition strengthens OLC’s integrated architecture and interiors approach as the firm continues to design recreation, wellness, and community facilities across the United States.
Donaldo “Doni” Visani Retires from OLC, Concluding a Distinguished 40-Year Career
OLC announces the retirement of Donaldo “Doni” Visani, concluding a distinguished 40-year career with the firm. Doni joined OLC in January 1986 and has played an integral role in the firm’s evolution, contributing to decades of projects focused on recreation, wellness, hospitality, and community-centered design. When Doni began his career, architectural practice looked very different. Design concepts were sketched by hand, drawings were drafted on vellum and mylar, and communication relied on phone calls, inperson meetings, and mailed documents. Over the years, he witnessed and embraced significant industry changes, from the introduction of computer-aided drafting and digital communication to today’s advanced modeling technologies and performance-driven design standards.
While tools and technologies evolved, Doni’s design philosophy remained consistent. Throughout his career, he emphasized careful listening, thoughtful
design, and a strong sense of responsibility to clients and the communities OLC serves. Early in his tenure, Doni contributed to projects that helped shape the firm’s direction, including a recreation center in Montana and a hospital-based wellness center in Chicago, experiences that reinforced OLC’s long-standing focus on wellness, recreation, and community-centered environments.
As he prepares for retirement, Doni is completing several notable projects, including the Englewood Recreation Center Renovation and the Carmody Recreation Center Locker and Pool Renovation, continuing his tradition of collaborative problem-solving and technical excellence through the final stages of his career.
“OLC has been more than a firm to me - it has been my professional home and a shared journey defined by respect, integrity, and lasting relationships,” said Visani.
OLC extends its sincere gratitude to Doni for his decades of leadership and service. His contributions have left a lasting imprint on the firm and will continue to influence its work for years to come.

HERITAGE REBOOTED: MAKING LAKEWOOD'S HISTORY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL TECH4REC
By Allysen Santilli, Marketing and Promotions Supervisor, City of Lakewood, Heritage, Culture & the Arts
For five decades, Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park has served as a 15-acre time capsule in Lakewood, preserving the 20thcentury history of Colorado’s fifth-largest city. As the museum commemorates its 50th anniversary in 2026, it is looking toward the future by bridging the physical and digital worlds. A sweeping interpretive signage project is transforming the park into a hightech educational hub, ensuring that
Lakewood’s legacy is accessible to all.
The initiative replaces 30-year-old signs that were faded and outdated. In their place stands a sleek, bilingual system designed for the modern visitor. While the physical panels provide high-resolution “then-and-now” photographs and stories from a variety of perspectives, the true innovation lies in the integration of QR codes on every interpretive panel.
Digital Gateways to the Past
By scanning these codes, visitors are transported to ArcGIS StoryMaps—a digital platform that expands the park’s boundaries. This “extended content” allows the museum to bypass physical limits, offering deep dives into the architecture and historic preservation of 12 of the park’s historic structures.
This localized milestone coincides with a monumental year of reflection, as Heritage Lakewood’s 50th birthday aligns with the 150th anniversary of Colorado’s statehood and the 250th anniversary of the United States. The tech-forward approach also prioritizes inclusivity. The StoryMaps feature audio versions of the signage read by community members to assist those with visual impairments. Future updates will include collaborations to record oral histories from Indigenous people, ensuring their stories are told in their own words.
Technology Enhancing the Experience
The project, finalized with a main kiosk in early 2026, was shaped by four years of community feedback. By using QR codes to host “living” content, the museum can update information as new stories are shared and new artifacts are donated without the cost of reprinting physical signs.
Staff have already observed a shift in engagement. Couples on bikes, dog walkers and multigenerational families are pausing to scan codes. The technology allows the park to remain a serene green space while functioning as a 24-hour outdoor museum.
A Golden Celebration
The public is invited to celebrate this digital transformation during the 50th anniversary “Birthday Party” on Aug. 1, from 4 to 8 p.m. The event kicks off with a free exhibition opening, “50 Years of Heritage in Lakewood,” featuring birthday cake and curator-led tours.
The celebration blends the “new-old” skills that define the park’s mission. Visitors can navigate the new signage using smartphones or participate in a scavenger hunt. Instructors will offer blacksmithing and calligraphy demonstrations, while the evening features live music, cider pressing and tractor-drawn hayrides. As Heritage Lakewood enters its next half-century, these digital portals ensure that the stories of its people are shared in multiple ways.
PAINTING PIECES:
Building Community One Brushstroke at a Time
By Zach Ducharme, CPRP, Sr. Recreation Coordinator, Creative Arts and Education, City of Fort Collins
At the Fort Collins Senior Center, creativity is more than selfexpression—it’s a catalyst for connection. Painting Pieces is an innovative art workshop that blends collaborative design, puzzle-solving, and community engagement into a shared creative experience that resonates far beyond the canvas.
In each session, participants of all artistic backgrounds design
individual segments of a larger mini mural using vibrant acrylic paints. While each piece reflects a unique personal style, the true magic happens when the group assembles their work to reveal a unified image. The final mural is displayed publicly, celebrating both individual creativity and the power of collective effort.
Launched in Fall 2025, the program debuted with a five-part animal-
themed series displayed on the Senior Center’s art panels. Its success paved the way for an ambitious Spring 2026 fourpart national parks series. These murals will be exhibited at Fort Collins City Hall throughout Summer 2026—an achievement made possible through strong partnerships between the City’s Recreation Department, Art & Culture Department, and City Hall.

This interdepartmental collaboration demonstrates how shared goals and resources can elevate community programming and expand public access to the arts.
Participant feedback highlights the program’s inclusive and welcoming environment. One attendee shared that joining the class was empowering even without prior painting experience, calling it “very fun” and smooth from start to finish. Others praised the supportive facilitation and the opportunity to learn new artistic techniques, noting that the workshop welcomes all ages and abilities.
Beyond the finished murals, Painting Pieces fosters meaningful social interaction. Participants gather around shared tables, exchange ideas, and collaborate to solve the visual “puzzle” of assembling the artwork. This process encourages communication, teamwork, and a sense of belonging—key components of healthy aging and vibrant community life.
By combining artistic exploration with intentional partnership and collaboration, Painting Pieces exemplifies how recreation programs can serve as platforms for civic connection. Each completed mural stands as a colorful testament to what can be achieved when departments align their efforts and community members come together to create something larger than themselves.
BY COMBINING ARTISTIC EXPLORATION WITH INTENTIONAL PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATION, PAINTING PIECES EXEMPLIFIES HOW RECREATION PROGRAMS CAN SERVE AS PLATFORMS FOR CIVIC CONNECTION.

Burke Brings Independence to Play with the 360 Loop
The 360 Loop® creates playgrounds where more children can move with confidence, curiosity and independence. Slides, climbers and pathways invite kids to set their own pace and explore, while the newest innovation, the 360 Loop Connection, keeps play flowing seamlessly from one element to the next. Thoughtfully placed transfer stations and ergonomic handrails give children using mobility devices easy access, supporting exploration, socialization and independent play alongside their peers.
Built around choice and autonomy, the 360 Loop forms a continuous “Circle of Play” — transfer, climb, slide and move on — so every child can engage fully and independently. By removing barriers and promoting equitable play, BCI Burke is redefining inclusive playgrounds, where natural play behaviors are built in and every child can experience confidence, connection and joy.
“Communities are asking for play experiences that welcome every child and make play inclusive, intuitive and fun. The 360 Loop brings play equity and allows more children to explore, move and connect independently. Our clients in Colorado love that it not only meets their accessibility goals but also creates a space where children of varying abilities feel included and engaged.”
Brandon Smith, Owner, A to Z Recreation
“The details of the transfer, climb, slide, repeat loop create an approachable experience for children that helps them achieve unprecedented adventure and independence in play. Kids can use their hands, upper bodies or legs — whatever feels most comfortable — to move up, then come down the 360 Loop Slide, where a longer runout gives them space to regain balance, rest and regroup before starting again. The addition of the 360 Loop Connection reinforces the idea that great design removes barriers rather than calling attention to them. By focusing on flow, access and shared movement, we create play environments where children play together and inclusion feels natural.”

Community collaborations thrive when cities and youth leaders come together to create meaningful, engaging, and unique experiences. For Northglenn’s Parks, Recreation and Culture department, the April edition of Club 22 and its collaboration with the Northglenn Youth Commission is an example of how the connection between creative events and strategic partnerships can foster a sense of belonging among young people.
Club 22 is a reoccurring event focused on youth engagement in Northglenn. Designed as a safe, inclusive space for youth and teens, it hosts a variety of activities that encourage participation and social interaction. Attendees at the event can typically be seen splashing in the indoor pools, gaming in the activity room, playing drop-in sports in the gym, and participating
in special activations. April’s event featured NinjaCross, decorating a pot and planting seeds, and an axe throwing inflatable. The event also hosted a consecutive Northglenn Youth Commission project, the Teen Art Jam.
The Northglenn Youth Commission plays a vital role in empowering youth to shape their community and have a voice in local government. In the fall of 2025, the Northglenn Youth Commission identified a need in the local community to connect teens to local events and activities more, and developed a priority project around teen engagement. Youth Commissioners worked together to find ways to engage the teen community more with youth and
teen events, and developed the Teen Art Jam. The Teen Art Jam was a live art competition where participants were provided supplies to paint, draw, and present a piece that would be voted on by the collection of youth and teens in attendance at the event. The top three winners would be given prizes with the first place winner also having the opportunity to have
Kassy Riggle, CPRP, Recreation Coordinator, Youth & Teen Programs, City of Northglenn
their work be put on display in the Northglenn Recreation Center during the summer. The Youth Commission was able to obtain an event sponsor, the local Walmart, who donated a portion of the items needed for the event to take place.
Club 22 sharing space with Teen Art Jam allowed more awareness of the larger community event taking place with a different market in the local youth and teen community. It also provided a space for teens attending the Art Jam to try out new activities, such as volleyball that was taking place in the gym. Teen Art Jam provided a welcoming environment where participants were able to express themselves creatively while building relationships with their peers. Through the competition, youth from in and around Northglenn were able to connect over a shared interest, turning the event into a space for community-building. The collaboration between the Northglenn Youth Commission and Club 22 illustrates how when entities contribute something unique—youth leadership, safe community space, and unique recreational activities—the result will be in programming that is dynamic, inclusive, and impactful. By combining the Teen Art Jam and Club 22 events to better connect youth and teens to programs being offered to the community, Northglenn continues to demonstrate how communities can work together to create engaging opportunities that bring people closer together.

r egional partnership Brings n ew p ickle B all complex to l ife
By Katie Ciaglo, Communications Supervisor, South Suburban Parks and Recreation
On a crisp Colorado morning in January, more than 300 people gathered to celebrate the grand opening of the Southpark Pickleball Complex. Years in the making, the project transformed underused land into 19 pristine courts, realizing a shared vision between the Highlands Ranch Metro District and South Suburban Park and Recreation District to meet the growing demand for pickleball in the region. Beyond responding to
the sport’s rising popularity, the complex offers a welcoming place for residents to connect and build community through recreation.
A Premier Facility
Located at 400 W. County Line Road in Highlands Ranch, the Southpark Pickleball Complex features 19 fenced, outdoor courts with permanent nets, offering space for drop-in play, leagues,
tournaments and programming for players of all ages and skill levels. Open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., the facility includes a variety of amenities to enhance the player experience, such as court lighting for evening play, shaded seating areas with picnic tables, restrooms and ample parking. The complex provides both reserved and firstcome, first-served court options, ensuring flexibility for both casual play and organized groups.

A Collaborative Approach
The Southpark Pickleball Complex is the result of a strong partnership between the Metro District and South Suburban. From early planning stages through project completion, both organizations worked together to align their resources and deliver a shared vision for the community.
When it came to designing the courts, Metro District Director of Recreation and Cultural Programs Neil Alderson shared, “The courts are oriented north–south to optimize play conditions, take advantage of the site’s natural topography, and are strategically located away from residential areas to improve access while minimizing noise impacts. Together, these efforts fulfill a shared vision of creating state-of-theart pickleball facilities for the broader community, while also demonstrating fiscal responsibility through the collaboration and resource-sharing of the two special districts.”
Construction and maintenance costs for the $13 million facility are shared equally between the Metro District and South Suburban, with each district managing reservations for half the courts under a unified pricing structure. The

“ t he courts are oriented northsouth to optimize play conditions, take advantage of the site’s natural topography, and are strategically located away from residential areas to improve access while minimizing noise impacts.“
districts also collaborate on large event rentals and ongoing upkeep, ensuring a seamless experience for users. “Our commitment to jointly maintain and operate this facility reflects a strong, collaborative partnership that will benefit both districts, as well as pickleball players from across the region,” shared Pam Eller, South Suburban Board Chair.
Play at the new complex is now in full swing, with the courts heavily utilized despite the unpredictable spring weather. As enthusiasm for pickleball continues to grow, the Southpark Pickleball Complex is ready to serve the community for years to come.

Water World Renovation Expands Recreation Access
By Kellie Flowers Rowan, Community Relations Manager, Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District
When the Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District decided to replace an aging area of Water World, it saw an opportunity to not just serve the waterpark’s half-a-million visitors, but to meet the needs of the District’s 130,000 residents.
The re-imagined area, “Summit Canyon”, doubles as a mini waterpark for the local community. For $8.99 plus tax, residents with a Hyland Hills Resident Discount Card can purchase a three-hour visit to Summit Canyon and enjoy four thrilling water slides including Denver’s only dropcapsule, a leisure pool, two activity pools, a children’s play area, and concessions. The area will also host “Neighbor Night Out”, a monthly after-hours event exclusively for residents.
“We’re proud to be a statewide destination for Coloradans and out-of-state visitors,” explained Yvonne Fischbach, Hyland Hills Executive Director, “But we’re even more
Setting the Standard for Parks & Aquatics
proud of how Summit Canyon will provide our community with affordable access to high-quality, one-of-a-kind aquatic recreation.”
The renovation also expands access to lifesaving swimming lessons through a new Learn-to-Swim Pool on the site. This pool benefits busy families with weekend and evening sessions and is expected to more than double Hyland Hills’ Learn-to-Swim program with at least 1,200 additional participants.
Summit Canyon is included in admission to the full waterpark. For residents who want to enjoy all of the park’s 50+ attractions, Hyland Hills offers discounted day tickets and season passes as well as $20 day trips for children ages 6-12 with transportation, supervision, and lunch included.
As one of the largest community-owned waterparks in the nation, Water World has always supported Hyland Hills’ mission of providing first-class parks, open spaces, facilities, and recreation programs for residents in the 24-square-mile District. The Summit Canyon development provided an opportunity to further that commitment to the community, creating new ways for residents to play at their hometown waterpark.
