The City of Axum Park Trail Construction is one of Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado’s (VOC) final outdoor stewardship events in the 2009 volunteer season, and it promises to be an exciting one!

Named for Denver’s sister city in Ethiopia, City of Axum Park in northeast Park Hill is a small respite in one of Denver’s most historic and interesting neighborhoods. Like many other small community parks within Denver, City of Axum has lagged behind in obtaining basic park amenities such as a playground, sitting areas, and walking paths.

Recently, local residents in the area have actively worked with Denver Parks and Recreation, Park Hill Thriving Communities, and Live Well Colorado to provide much needed momentum to get the park upgraded. VOC’s participation will enable the residents to realize their vision with the construction of a safe, accessible walking and biking path around the perimeter of the park.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of an incredible community-based effort to revitalize this neighborhood green space for children and adults to enjoy year-round. This is a great one-day project for first time volunteers, families, youth, and community action groups. A fun-filled celebration will end our successful day.

Volunteers for Outdoor Colorado (VOC) is a nonprofit organization committed to inspiring and creating lifelong environmental stewards through outdoor volunteer experiences. Since 1984, tens of thousands of citizens led by skilled volunteer leaders have helped protect, conserve, and sustain Colorado’s natural places through their work with VOC. Volunteers can join VOC outdoor projects throughout the year and help with stewardship efforts like building and restoring trails in wilderness areas, constructing paths in city parks, and restoring fragile riverside habitat.

Aquafina is a proud supporter of VOC and its outdoor stewardship mission and will provide bottled water to hydrate volunteers at this event.
