Perry Park Metropolitan District

Perry Park Metro District Residents,

Perry Park Metro District, under direction of the State Engineer's Office (SEO), must begin regular maintenance actions to protect the dam at Gilloon Pond. Otherwise, PPMD could be ordered to "breach" the dam and drain the pond. Activities planned for this fall are:
Removal of willows and junipers growing on the dam. Stumps will be removed using a stump grinder to remove roots below ground level. Holes will be filled to match grades on the dam slope.
Repairs to a 30-foot section of the dam on the upstream side to restore the original grade. This will involve removal of the organic material and backfill with compactable soil.
Tree and shrub health on and below the dam must be monitored annually. The large cottonwood and one small crabapple tree can remain for now.
Any future trees and shrubs will be removed. Tree roots can affect the structural integrity of dams and allow water to seep through root pathways. These can eventually lead to leaks in the dam.
The Board has adopted a Monitoring and Maintenance schedule based on the SEO Inspection Report done in March, 2026. Other concerns were raised in the report but do not require action at this time. We ask that you be patient and avoid active work zones. Any closures for safety will be short-term and allow you to resume your normal walks across the dam.

Sincerely,

The Perry Park Metro District Board of Directors

Perry Park Residents,

For those who have not been following the latest with the new front entry, (https://perryparkmd.colorado.gov/) to see the original rendering, selected by the community last year, and the final design as will be built. These monuments will be installed on both the north and south side of the entry, similar to what was there previously. The north side will read Perry Park Country Club. The landscaping in the final design is much more robust to frame the monuments. The project is anticipated to be completed sometime in mid-October. If you have any questions, please participate in the Metro Board meeting under public comment.

Perry Park Residents,

Starting Wednesday, August 26, demolition will begin on the front entry project. The project is anticipated to take approximately 45 days. During that time, a variety of construction activities will be taking place. Site fencing will be installed, which will limit parking from the front of the park to accommodate construction equipment. At certain times, traffic control will be implemented as construction activities require. Although sometimes frustrating, please give the contractors a break. We all are looking forward to the new front entry to our community.
