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.

As the District expands its management of Kids Club programming to soon include Running Creek Elementary, we are seeking dynamic individuals to join our team and help provide recreational programming and care for community youth during out-of-school times. We are in need of a Childcare Site Supervisor, Lead teachers, and Recreation Instructors and are accepting applications until October 18th. Pay is up to $23.50 / per hour for the Childcare Site Supervisor, up to $21.50 for Lead Teachers, and up to $18.75 for Recreation Instructors. These are part-time positions that allow for varied and flexible schedules. Employees will average between 3-26 hours per week during the school year and up to 40 hours per week in the summer and school breaks, depending on your desired schedule and the needs of the program. Programs include before school care from 6:30am – 8am, after-school care from 2:30pm-6pm, and full day care from 6:30am – 6pm during school breaks and over the summer. If you enjoy caring for and mentoring youth, need some extra income and a flexible schedule, and want to work locally, EPR District is your place to apply. All candidates will be required to complete and pass background screening to include FBI fingerprint screening prior to beginning employment. Forward letter of interest and resume to info@elizabethpr.com or call the park office at 303.646.3599 with any questions.
The EPR District is currently collaborating with the Town of Elizabeth and the Elizabeth School District on a master planning effort for parks, recreation, open space, and trails within the community. The project is being substantially funded through a grant from GOCO, and the master plan process will include extensive outreach to residents to learn their needs and desires for community parks, recreation amenities, open space, and trails. The District also hopes to gage resident desire for a recreation center facility as proposed within the Casey Jones Park Master Plan.
Please watch for opportunities to get involved and share your thoughts to ensure that the master plan truly represents the needs and desires of the community. While we are facilitating the development of the plan, we want the content for the plan to come directly from community residents.
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.
