Heritage & Cultural Foundation Pavilion

A new community pavilion designed to serve as a gathering space while also highlighting local history, culture, business and recreation opportunities to help residents and visitors better connect with Garfield County.

Kariotis & Lucky Charms Parks Improvements

The park improvements focus on enhancing accessibility, aesthetics, and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. Planned upgrades aim to create a more welcoming and functional space through improved amenities and thoughtful design that supports community gathering, outdoor activity, and tourism growth.

On March 24, 2026 a community open house was held to gather input on what residents wanted out of these improvements. There was good turnout with great discussion. For those that were unable to attend the in-person event an online survey was created in order to receive as much feedback as possible while in the planning phase of these improvements.

Walking Trail Planning

In Year 2 we will be developing a preliminary engineering report and budget for a one-mile recreational walking trail looking through and around Jordan. The trail will include benches, shaded spots, signage, and will connect directly to downtown businesses and community landmarks.

Hell Creek Recreation Courtesy Dock

Hell Creek is a central gathering place for both residents and visitors, especially during the busy summer months. To help reduce congestion and improve access to the water, an additional boat dock is being fabricated to be installed this summer. This improvement enhances safety, supports increased recreational use, and provides a more efficient and enjoyable experience for everyone spending time at Hell Creek.

Wayfinding & Signage

Another part of this year's plan is contracting with an architecture/engineering firm to help design and implement a county-wide signage and wayfinding plan. This will include county road signs as well as wayfinding signs in the town of Jordan.

Downtown Beautification

Expanding on last year’s work, additional hanging flower baskets will be installed, along with pole banners to feature the landscapes, heritage, and assets that define Garfield County.
