Looking for a new place to hit the trails, challenge yourself on the stairs or take the kids outside? Douglas County’s upcoming Macanta Regional Park will give residents more ways to enjoy the outdoors.
At a Business Meeting on Nov. 10, the Douglas County Board of Commissioners approved a construction contract of up to $5.95 million with Timberline Building Systems to build trails and amenities at the 464-acre park, set to open in June 2028.
Located approximately one mile south of the intersection of Crowfoot Valley Road and Pradera Parkway, Macanta Regional Park will include:
- 5.3 miles of trails.
- Three sets of challenge stairs.
- A small playground.
- A trailhead with parking, shelters and restrooms.
The contract includes approximately $5.55 million for construction, with the remaining funds reserved for unexpected costs.
The project is funded by $4.5 million from the Open Space Operations and Maintenance portion of the Parks, Trails, Historic Resources and Open Space Fund, $1 million from the Conservation Trust Fund and a $450,000 developer contribution.
Commissioners approved funding for Macanta Regional Park in the County’s 2024 budget, and Timberline Building Systems was selected through a competitive bidding process.
