Help the Parks and Recreation Committee name one of Superior's newest parks!
At the direction of the Board in 2019, the Town’s Parks, Recreation, Open Space and Trails Advisory Committee (now Parks and Recreation Committee) worked with Town staff and a consultant on a public engagement process that focused on park amenities for the areas north of Rock Creek Parkway and east of McCaslin Boulevard. Based on the findings from the public engagement and the upcoming development in the area the Board decided to consider opportunities for the park and playground located at the east end of the Tract H property, with the end result being a unique new park unlike any other in town and soon ready for visitors to enjoy. This park is being built by the developer/builder, Toll Brothers, To view the Tract H Final Concept PDF created by dtj Design, navigate to the Key Documents section in the right column of this page.
While the park and playground remain under construction at this time, the Parks and Recreation Committee with support from the Historical Commission would like the community’s help in naming this new public amenity!
You will find a survey below, where you can choose your favorite name among the five finalists or submit your own choice. The survey will close July 18.
ENGAGEMENT COMPLETE This park has been named MINERS PARK

Select your top choice from the list of five below or submit your own choice. The names with the most votes will be presented to the Board of Trustees for final consideration and selection. Thank you for participating in this survey! The survey will close July 18.
Miners Park: This name is in honor of Superior's mining history and connects to the unique tunnel system that is a key feature of the park’s nature playground.
Coal Miners Park: Similar rationale to Miners Park, but even more explicit.
Enterprise Park: This name recognizes the Enterprise, which was a briefly operational coal mine nearby the location of the new nature playground. This name also speaks to the enterprising spirit kids will need in this play area, as they can invent their own way to interact and experience the natural play features.
Depot Park: "Depot" is a nod to Superior's railroad history. It also speaks to the park as a gathering place much in the way a conventional rail depot is.
Magpie Park: This name honors the Magpie bird, which is common across the Front Range. They are recognizable by their white bellies, the flash of blue across their wings, and very noisy calls.
