The Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership (SCRGP) cares for the Greenway as both a living ecosystem and a community space. We steward 13 miles of urban nature — its wildlife habitat, creek corridor, plant communities, and public art — while also creating accessible, culturally responsive outdoor programs that help people feel connected to nature, to their neighbors, and to themselves.
A gift to SCRGP supports the land and the people who depend on it. Your generosity helps restore habitat, maintain the trail, improve safety and access, and nurture experiences that allow thousands of youth, adults, and families each year to learn, explore, heal, and build belonging on the Greenway.
This is what your generosity makes possible:
“SCRGP gives people the options and resources to connect in the way that works for them.” — Community Member
“Experiencing a waterway or natural area is hard to come by in Commerce City and northeast Denver. SCRGP breaks down those barriers for residents.” — Community Member
“One of our students wasn’t coming to school because they were being bullied. Your Nature Club is what got them to start coming back. It has been beautiful to watch them feel safe and comfortable.” — Local Educator
“Thank YOU sincerely from the bottom of my heart! That was one of the best programs we have ever had. Teachers, students, and parents can’t wait for the next one!” — Local Educator
“Gracias por invitarnos a estas bonitas actividades… nuestros hijos tienen memorias y diversión gracias a ustedes.” — Outdoor Wellness Program Parent
“A moment I won’t forget: only three of us showed up to volunteer. When we reached the creek bed, we found a sea of trash. We couldn’t get it all, but we cleared out a lot. It reminded me why this work matters.” — Volunteer

To promote curiosity, environmental awareness, and community health through stewardship and experiences with an urban greenspace that offers equitable access and connection to the diverse habitats, communities, places, and cities thriving along the Sand Creek Regional Greenway.
The Sand Creek Regional Greenway (SCRG) is a nearly 13-mile trail and wildlife corridor connecting Commerce City, Denver, and Aurora. The SCRG serves as a vital east/west connection between the Platte River Trail and the High Line Canal.
The SCRG is wilderness in the city - and maintains a native ecosystem along Sand Creek. It serves as an accessible nature experience for the many diverse communities living in the northeast metro Denver area.
In the early-1990s, Stapleton Airport closed and three cities, Commerce City, Denver, and Aurora, recognized the potential to develop a greenway along the main waterway in this region, Sand Creek.
The Sand Creek Regional Greenway Partnership (SCRGP) is a 501c3 that was originally formed because the city partners and neighbors wanted the Sand Creek Greenway to be a regional park area with a similar look and feel in all the jurisdictions.
Today, the SCRGP focuses it efforts on the equitable access, awareness, and engagement of the SCRG.
