About the Plan

The Pueblo City Park and Arkansas River Corridor Plan will ensure community access and use by a variety of stakeholder groups with a focus on the high bluff along the north edge of City Park, which overlooks recent improvements on the river. The bluff provides an opportunity to establish destination recreation elements that link the historic City Park to the Arkansas River Corridor. The graphic below depicts the general project area for this study.
