Greetings from the Parks, Recreation & Open Space Team! It's a fantastic time to enjoy the Autumn colors in our beautiful community. We encourage you to take a stroll through one of our parks or explore the many trails and open spaces right in our backyard! Oh, and don't keep it all to yourself. Invite a family member or a friend to come along! Stop along the way, take a big breath and enjoy the beauty around you.

In this month's PROS newsletter you will get to learn more about some other great upcoming events, programs, entertainment, and news happening around the Town. If there's anything you have questions about, please know we are here to help.

Calling all ghosts, vampires, and witches too, we've got a spooky party planned just for you! The Superior Youth Leadership Council is hosting a Monster Mash Party! Taking place at the Superior Community Center (1500 Coalton Rd.) on October 29, 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., this family-friendly event is free and open to everyone. No registration needed. 

The event will feature a DJ spinning the best of Halloween jams, crafts, games, face painting, and sweet treats. Also on the schedule, there will be a costume contest for kids ten and under starting at 7:00 p.m. All activities are free (while supplies last), and there are prizes for everyone. 

Serendipity Tap and Café will be open with a fall-themed menu and bar. Get dressed up, grab the kids and friends and join us for a ghoulish good time! 

The Cultural Arts & Public Spaces (CAPS) Advisory Committee would like to thank you for attending the Plein Air Festival on October 8. The weather was perfect for the artists to paint the beauty of Purple Park en plein air!

The event included twelve professional artists, several youths who participated in the Youth Mentorship Program, a Youth Activity Station with multiple art projects - plus food, live music, and face painting!

We hope you enjoyed the experience and artsy fall vibe. CAPS hopes to see you next time!

Weather permitting, the North Pool Tennis Courts are scheduled for needed repairs in late October following completion of the fall youth and adult tennis programs. During this time, all four courts will be closed to the public. Repairs are anticipated to take a minimum of four days to complete. These needed repairs will ensure that the tennis courts surfaces will be ready for optimal fun and safety. For up-to-date information on this project, please visit the Athletic Fields & Courts page.

Large weather events are occurring more frequently requiring significant repairs to open space trails. Boulder County Parks & Open Space is replacing the engineered road base on Coalton Trail with soft-surface recycled road material. This material has been used on several trails by BOCO Parks & Open Space and has proven more resistant to erosion following storm events. Residents may see a paving machine typically used for laying asphalt, but in this case, it is being used to apply soft surface materials evenly.

For more information contact Jarret Roberts, Boulder County Parks & Open Space Recreation and Facilities division manager, at jroberts@bouldercounty.org or 303-413-7000.
