Golden Parks and Recreation is using DeLong Park as a pilot project for the City’s first organic park location. This means that they will be using only natural, organic products for all plants and grasses. No synthetic chemicals will be used in our maintenance practices.
A group of weed-busting volunteers meets weekly at DeLong Park on Thursday mornings from 8-10AM to weed out invasive species. Interested community members can join the group on Thursday mornings.
The DeLong Park Weed Busters are always happy to bring in new members, and training on weed identification is provided! Register to volunteer as a DeLong Park Weed Buster!

Golden History Moment
45 Years Ago
The July 21, 1977 Golden Transcript featured this photo of a kayaker on 12th Street. Admittedly, the car a few feet north was not in flood conditions, but our storm sewers were clearly overwhelmed on the south side of the street! The building in the background is the Loveland Block, aka the Old Capitol Grill restaurant.
The caption informs us that Golden had received 3.2-3.4 inches of water the previous night. A separate article about police activity reported that the storm’s booming thunder had tripped burglar alarms at Golden Furniture, Meyer Hardware, S&S Electronics, and Golden Animal Hospital.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
