The laughter of kids splashing in the South Platte.
The quiet hum of dragonflies over clean water.
The sound of families gathering along the river on a sunny afternoon.
These moments are possible because you care about your city, your river, and the life it brings.
Your love for Denver’s outdoors keeps our waterways healthy, our kids curious, and our community connected to the place we all call home.
Your gift today will:
Give local students hands-on adventures through SPREE river education
Keep our riverbanks clean, green, and thriving with native plants and wildlife
Bring neighbors together at free community events by the water
Because of you, the South Platte River isn’t just part of Denver’s past - it’s the heart of its future.
The Greenway Foundation’s mission is to enhance and protect Denver’s waterways through equitable community engagement, education, and stewardship.
Since 1974, The Greenway Foundation has transformed the South Platte River from a neglected waterway into Denver’s heartbeat - a place for nature, recreation, and community.
We’ve built over 100 miles of trails, created 20+ parks and natural areas, improved river health, and connected more than 70,000 kids to hands-on river education through our SPREE program. Our youth employment and stewardship projects continue to shape the next generation of environmental leaders.
Today, we’re expanding access to the river, restoring habitats, and bringing people together through education, cleanups, and community events - so every Denverite can experience the river that runs through us all.
