In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Roxborough State Park in 2025, the Friends of Roxborough will emphasize public programs and projects that highlight the historical aspects of the park. We are planning a number of events including weekly open-house tours of the Historic Persse Place, monthly History table-talks at the visitor center on topics ranging from Roxborough History in Photos, Women of Roxborough, Homesteading in the Roxborough area, and many others. A current listing of events is available on our website, https://friendsofroxboroughstatepark.org/
The mission of the Friends of Roxborough State Park is to protect and preserve the unique natural and cultural resources of Roxborough State Park by providing and managing financial resources and partnering with park staff and volunteers to educate the public, enhance the visitor experience, and support future strategic land acquisitions
Friends of Roxborough State Park was formed in 1993 with the mission of protecting the boundaries of Roxborough State Park, which was established in 1975, and opened for regular public access in 1987. Friends of Roxborough SP, one of the first Friends’ organizations associated with a Colorado State Park, was registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1997.
In recent years, the focus of the Friends of Roxborough SP has grown to include supporting nature education programs, providing visitor amenities and resources, supporting park volunteer programs with supplies and funding for training and programs.
