🐾 Big paws for Barbara Downs! 🐾

We are thrilled to announce that Barbara Downs has been named the El Paso County Parks 2025 Volunteer of the Year! 🏆

If you’ve visited Bear Creek Dog Park lately, chances are you’ve seen Barbara’s hard work in action. For over 10 years, she has been a dedicated steward of the park—leading the Friends Group, recruiting new volunteers, and even helping with the "unpleasant" tasks like waste removal and weeding to keep the park pristine.

From "April Stools" to "Creek Week," Barbara’s heart for service makes El Paso County a better place to live, work, and play. Please join us in thanking Barbara for her incredible dedication! 🌲🐕

All are welcome, and we encourage you to share this invitation with others who may wish to attend.
