Enhancing our community through parks, programs, and service.
At its August meeting, the EPR Board of Directors appointed Wild Pointe resident Aleta Jeffress as a new Board Member. The seat had been vacant since May of 2023, when JC Cook resigned after serving the community for over 10 years. Aleta expressed her interest in the vacant position this past Spring and attended several meetings to learn about District operations and planning before being appointed. She has an impressive professional background in information technology and communications, as well as public administration, and will provide additional leadership resources to the Board. Aleta expressed that she is interested in increasing recreation programming and services for seniors in the community, and in pursuing funding for a community recreation center as proposed within the Casey Jones Master Plan. We look forward to having her on our team as we continue to make Elizabeth an even greater place to live.

The District is once again providing residents the opportunity to purchase Ponderosa Pine trees that can be relocated from Casey Jones Park to your property. The trees are generally 3-25 feet tall and are in areas of the park that will see future development. Our hope is to relocate the trees within the Elizabeth Community now rather than cut them down in the future once planned park projects are initiated. District residents can purchase trees under 8 foot for $150 and trees over 8 foot for $250, which is a remarkable savings over tree nursery prices. There is a 10 – tree limit at this time. Residents must also arrange for and pay any associated costs for moving the trees. The District can provide contact information for tree contractors if needed.
This program is intended to keep the trees within the Elizabeth Community and to assist in expanding our tree canopy. Trees will require irrigation for up to the first three years after planting in your yard, and potentially longer based on precipitation levels and draught conditions. Call the park office at 303.646.3599 for more info or to get your trees now.
The splash pad in Evans Park is open daily! Remember no bikes or scooters or dogs are allowed on the splash pad. This is for everyone's safety. Have fun and be safe! The splash pad is open from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend annually.
