Central Park Grands Bluff Lake Campaign Page

In February 2026, Bluff Lake Nature Center opened its newly completed Campus Improvements Project to the public. The project included a net zero building to house a welcome center, classrooms, offices, and a community space; power and running water; and additional site improvements, including an accessible ramp leading down into the site. The project has vastly improved how Bluff Lake serves its community, providing a more accessible and enjoyable nature experience for thousands of visitors of all ages.

In order to complete the project in a timely manner Bluff Lake took out a $250,000 loan. Your gift, on behalf of the Central Park Grands, would help offset that cost, shortening the length of the loan payment schedule, and supporting a more sustainable future for Bluff Lake. There is also the opportunity to have the Central Park Grands recognized on the Board of Philanthropy, if our goal is reached!

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT

Did you know that Bluff Lake donors in Colorado can take advantage of the 50% Childcare Tax Credit of up to $100,000 per year, in addition to other state and federal charitable contribution credits? This includes IRA contributions. We invite you to visit the campaign page for more information, including other ways to give and tax credit information.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are making a gift of over $1,000, we ask that you consider sending a check to avoid the cost of high fees that would either be covered by the donor or Bluff Lake Nature Center. Checks can be mailed to:
