Evergreen Colorado has some of the best open space parks in all of Colorado. In 1972, Jefferson County residents voted to tax themselves one-half of 1% on sales to “fund planning, acquisition and maintenance of lands and waters for the enjoyment of current and future generations.*” Jefferson County residents and Open Space have spent the next 35 plus years preserving, protecting, and maintaining Colorado’s most valuable assets, Open Space parks. Hand in hand with this preservation and conservation has come opportunities for additional outdoor recreation. The newest park being developed is Stagecoach Park near the intersection of Hwy 74 and Stagecoach Blvd.
