About Douglas County’s future parks
Since 1994, a voter-approved 0.17% sales and use tax has preserved parks, trails, historic resources, and open spaces across Douglas County, including dedicated funds for cities and towns. In 2022, more than 87% of voters approved extending the tax. A 2024 community survey confirmed residents’ priority for new parks and recreation, leading to the County’s 2025 investments in Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, and Zebulon recreation facilities.
