As a longtime resident of Cañon City, I’ve grown up cherishing the parks, trails, and programs of our Recreation District. From playing baseball and volleyball as a kid, to watching my own children’s youth sports teams, and walking the Riverwalk with friends, I’ve seen how recreation brings us together.
