The Pleasant View Metropolitan District owns or manages approximately 70 acres of park-lands within our jurisdictional boundaries. Of the 70 acres, about 20 acres consists of groomed turf areas and the remaining 50 acres is open space or more wild in nature. We have two baseball fields and three multi-use fields available for many different sports activities. We also have a small hall available for rental. All of our parks except the Pleasant View Community Park at Camp George West have restroom facilities that have running water and are open in the summer months. At Camp George West we are utilizing porta-potties.
For background, nationally, in metropolitan areas, data shows that there is an average of 1000 people per 2 acres of park space provided by cities and districts. The data for Pleasant View Metropolitain District shows that the District ratio is about 140 people per 2 acres of park property available. Sitting between the cities of Lakewood and Golden, with this park-to-population ratio we have quite a rural feel with a lot of open areas that are quite easily accessible.
The picnic pavilions at our parks are free to use on a first come first served basis as are any of the other facilities at our parks. During the warmer month's, typically April through October, our parks become quite busy so it is recommended that you at least call to make sure a pavilion is available. They are available for reservations for a small charge. Link here for rental rates of our facilities.
On a side note, the district has been awarded a Tree City award for the past 9 years. As a part of this award the District has a memorial tree program where you may donate a tree to have planted at one of our parks. The donation includes the tree, planting, a plaque recognizing you or your event and perpetual care.
