Panorama Park in the city's southeast reopened last August after an $8.5 million overhaul—the largest neighborhood park renovation in city history.

The AARP Community Challenge grant program this year funded four quick-action projects in Colorado to enhance public spaces for residents of all ages.

Raised beds and a handwashing station in a community garden are just one of the projects funded by AARP Community Challenge grant winners in Colorado this year. The projects must be completed by year’s end.
