"Our thanks to Trust for Public Land for co-leading with the community the master planning and fundraising efforts for Panorama Park, and for playing such a vital role in bringing this renovation to the next level," said Britt Haley, Colorado Springs' Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services acting director. "Together, we completed the City's biggest renovation of a neighborhood park – a project more substantial than any of us could have done alone. The passion and involvement of southeast community members – led by resident leaders from RISE | Southeast Colorado Springs – has made a critical difference in bringing this incredible transformation to life. The support has been tremendous, and we are eager to reopen Panorama with a commitment to serve the surrounding neighborhoods with diverse programming well into the future."
Panorama is located at 4540 Fenton Road, which is in the southeast part of the city, near the intersection of Jet Wing Drive and Chelton Road. Public event parking will be available at Peak Vista Community Health Center (1815 Jet Wing Drive) and Panorama Middle School (2145 S Chelton Road). Cycling or walking to the event is highly encouraged. Additional event details will be shared as they become available at ColoradoSprings.gov/PanoramaPark.
