wildlife, open space and recreational resources.
B. In 1994, the Board created a statewide grant program, pursuant to
which eligible entities could apply for grants for Local Government Parks and Outdoor
Recreation to which Grantee responded with a detailed application (the "Project
Application ").

H. SELECTION CRITERIA:
A. Characteristics
1. Quality of Project:
The City of Pueblo is requesting a 5125,000 grant from the State Board of the Great
Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund (GOCO) under the Local Government Parks and Outdoor
Recreation category The grant will fund park enhancements/ improvements at the
existing Wildhorse Park.
Wildhorse Park is an 18 acre neighborhood park serving the Westside and Hyde Park
neighborhoods. This is a low income neighborhood who use and rely on this park for its
community gatherings. The park is one of two neighborhood parks in this area;, the other
park is a school /park site and is located approximately one mile away with completely
different types of amenities (i.e. baseball/softball field and tennis courts) than this park. The
park serves botla-the recreational needs and the social celebration needs of the neighborhood.
A majority of the site is irrigated turf grass. Facilities within the park include a basketball
court, area lighting, picnic shelter, bike racks, barbecue grills, and wooden playground
equipment.
The project consists of enhancing/ improving the facilities within the park. These
enhancements include:
1) The installation of a new post - tension hard surface basketball court system;
2) Replacement of the existing wooden playground equipment; and
3) Rehabilitation of the community pavilion.
The existing basketball court has deteriorated beyond its state of repair. The City will only be
able to "patch" the cracks, which will only last a year or two, or remove the courts entirely if
this grant is not approved. The existing wooden playground equipment is outdated and
difficult to repair (cannot get parts to fix equipment). The playground equipment has been
written up by the City's insurance program (Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing
Agency), identifying the equipment that needs to be replaced and that it is becoming unsafe
due to its age and its being made of wood (splinters). Also, the City is in the process of
making its parks ADA accessible. The new piece of equipment will be ADA accessible. The
community pavilion is nearly 20 years old and is in need of a new roof and trusts.
2. Need /Degree to which the need is satisfied:
a. The Need for the Project:
Wildhorse Park straddles the existing Wildhorse Creek, placing much of the park within the
100 year floodplain. It was developed in 1981 as a component of a community driven
3
Westside /Hyde Park Neighborhood Redevelopment Plan. Now, nearly 20 year later, many
of the facilities were constructed when the Park was first opened and are now in need of
rehabilitation /renovation.
The Park also is a component of the larger Wildhorse Creek Corridor Plan. This corridor
will link the Arkansas River Corridor with the Honor Farm and, eventually, the neighboring
community of Pueblo West. The corridor includes riparian open space, recreational nodes,
trail, and trail head. Wildhorse Park will be one of these recreation nodes and trail heads
along this corridor.
Wildhorse Park is one of two neighborhood parks within the are; the other is a school park
located approximately one mile away and is improved with different types of facilities, such as
tennis courts and a baseball field. The City has experienced, over the past decade, a growing
demand for outdoor basketball courts. Courts in many of the other neighborhood parks are
the most popular amenity- currently used. Pueblo's climate is much warmer than other parts
of the state which offers the opportunity to use the parks many days throughout the year.
Playground equipment is always a popular amenity that is used by the younger users if the
equipment is in good condition, exciting and attractive.
b. Demonstrate How Project Fit With Adopted Park Plans:
The adopted parks and recreation master plan for the City of Pueblo is the 1992 -1997 Urban
Park and Recreation Recovery Program This plan identifies the needed rehabilitation/
renovation for the facilities identified with in this application (see attached Planning
Document).
In September of 1998, the Hyde Park Neighborhood Organization made a request to Pueblo
City Council for renovation efforts to Wildhorse Park. The citizens pleaded with Council to
replace the playground equipment, provide a "usable" basketball court and rehabilitate some
of the park's other amenities. Their request grew out of a community planning process in
which residents identified critical neighborhood improvement projects. The S35,000 used to
match this grant application is being provided from Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds as a result of the neighborhood's request. CDBG funds are federal dollars
distributed to the City for improvements in low to moderate income level areas of the
community. The Wildhorse Park enhancement project was selected through a series of
public meeting as a 1999 park project.
There are no state or federal permits necessary to complete the project (see attached
Environmental Check List from GOCO).
3. Multiple Objectives:
Wddhorse Park serves three different uses. First, it is a neighborhood park. It is centrally
located within a neighborhood of 3,322 people. The facilities to be renovated through this
grant address the recreational and social needs of the neighborhood. Secondly the basketball
court and play structure provide a major recreational opportunity- for the residents. Third, the
pavilion and picnic table are a focal point for family gatherings and social celebrations. These
4
park amenities fit within the needs of the community. Compared to the entire City of Pueblo,
the Westside /Hyde Park neighborhood is home to a very large population of young people,
and over 65% of the entire population is Hispanic.
Wildhorse Park also is a park along the City's Riparian Greenbelt and Open Space system.
The Park is directly north of the confluence of Wildhorse Creek and the Arkansas River.
With the City's ultimate desire to acquire the properties along the entire Wildhorse Creek
river bottom, the Park will eventually link with the Honor Farm open space, (currently being
acquired through a separate GOCO Grant) and the fast growing community of Pueblo West
which has a population of 15,000 and is growing at a rate 14 %. With the acquisition of the
entire creek corridor, a bicycle and pedestrian trail will be constructed linking the Honor
Farm property with the Arkansas River Trail System. Wildhorse Park will serve as a major
activity node and trail head along this future extension. Bicycle parking and restrooms are
already existing in the Park. The project will accommodate individuals of all ages and income
levels.
The project will meet the specific and practical needs of the young and under - served
populations in two significant ways. First, it is owned by the City and will be free. It will be
available without charge to all populations within the entire region. Second, it is easily
accessible via the automobile, bicycle and foot.
4. Accessibility:
Wildhorse Park is a Neighborhood Park. It is centrally located within a neighborhood of
3,322 residents. Because it is a neighborhood park, it is readily accessible by automobile,
bicycle, or by foot. Three bus stops also adjoin the western edge of the Park at 13th Street.
15 Street, 17� Street, and Graham Ave. Wildhorse Park is currently linked to the entire Citv
via the River Trail System which consists of nearly 25 miles of trail connecting several
neighborhoods, Lake Pueblo, the University of Southern Colorado, the downtown area and
HARP. The river trail system is used by a number of diverse users, including; walkers,
joggers, bicyclists, roller bladers, naturalists, student education curriculums and nature center
programs. The Pueblo River Trail System currently attracts users from both the Region and
State -wide.
The Pueblo Convention and Visitors Bureau, through actual visitor counts for major local
area attractions, including the Lake Pueblo State Park, estimates that approximately 2.5
million people visit the Pueblo region annually. This number does not include visitors to the
State Fair Grounds attending off season events. When looking at the geographical
distribution of these visitors, approximately 60 ° . o come from an area outside Pueblo County,
30 ° from within Pueblo County, and 10% from outside the State of Colorado. Pueblo also
serves as the regional center for Southeastern Colorado.

B. Leveraging and Partnerships
1. Matching Funds:
The City of Pueblo is committed to enhancing the existing Wildhorse Park. The City has
identified $55,000, or 30 %, towards the project (see attached resolution). The cash match is
being provided through a Community Development Block Grant which is federal funds
distributed to the City and used in low to moderate income neighborhoods for community
improvements.
In -kind services will also be provided by the City through various means, such as, the design,
bidding, surveying, project management, construction inspection, and maintenance.
2. Support:
The City will work with the Hyde Park Neighborhood Organization (HPNO) who is
committed to enhancing the park's existing facilities. The organization has verbally expressed
that they will organize volunteers to work and help do some of the site preparation in order
for construction to begin (at the time of submitting this grant application, the City has not
received HPNO's letter of support). The City works closely with the Recreation and Leisure
Task Force of the Communities of Pueblo 2010 Commission an the Commission has
identified this project as an important need for funding (see attached support letter).
Members who are involved in the Recreation and Leisure Task Force represent a vast
majority of user groups ranging from State and Local government agencies, School Districts,
community- recreational organizations, non - profit interest groups and interested citizens (see
attached list of members).
3. Cooperation:
Evidence showing strong cooperation among the different City Departments is found
throughout the attached newspaper articles as a result of the March 22, 1999, public meeting.
Also, the City- routinely meets with the County, Pueblo West Metropolitan District, State
Parks, Division of Wildlife, and other entities where projects such as this one are discussed
and ultimately agreed upon for submittal to GOCO for funding requests. This cooperation
allows everyone to work and partner together in developing projects.

3. RECOMMENDATIONS
The previous two sections of the Recovery Action Plan have
outlined Goals and Objectives for' Pueblo's parks and
recreation system and set forth strategies to follow in
attaining the desired end products. The recommendations in
this section add a greater level of detail to the Action
Plan by addressing the specific needs of individual
facilities, recreational planning, and operations and
management.
The suggested recommendations relate directly to previously
stated Goals. Major goal statements are be repeated, and
recommendations made to address problems which need to be
solved to attain a given goal. The resulting recommendations
therefore relate to community goals and conclusions drawn in
the preceding sections of the Recovery Action Program.. The
fiscal commitment required to implement recommended
improvements -for individual sites is contained in the
Appendix to this document, "Park Facility Inventories and
Rehabilitation /Renovation Cost Estimates."
(a) Physical Facilities -- Rehabilitation /Renovation
GOAL 1: UPGRADE EXISTING P _RKS AND RECREATIONAL 7 ACILITIES
TO AN ACCEPTABLE HIGH STANDARD Or FACILITY
DEVELOPMENT.
(a) Establish new or expanded turf grass play areas and
landscape mlantinq at sites needing those amenities.
Refer to the Appendix for a summary of those sites, by
planning district, winich are in need of turf grass
areas and additional landscaping.
II -21
_�,(b) Rehabilitate or reconstruct rest room facilities or
other structures where the need exists. Refer to the
Appendix for a summary of those sites where rest room
or other building renovations are needed.
*(c) Periodically replace or rebuild playground equipment at
all sites in the system. Refer to the Appendix for a
summary of those sites where playground equipment is
aging. The inventory shown does not intend to indicate
the need for a total replacement program.,. As equipment
ages, a periodic inspection will ensure safety concerns
and recognize the need for improving conditions on an
ongoing basis.
(d) Resurface tennis courts basketball courts and other
hard - surface play areas as needed at sites having those
amenities. Refer to the Appendix for a summary of
those sites where resurfacing is either currently
needed or is projected to be needed within the next
five years.
(e) Develop a manual of prototype design layouts for play
areas and alternative kinds of ecru innent for children
in different aae arouns. Install fencina around
tot -lot nlav areas (children under six years) that will
facilitate supervision and safety. Nearly all of the
parks, school- parks, and school plavcrc-dnds would
benefi from redesigned playground areas. It is
recommended that modi fications to playground equipment
areas be done in conjunction with an overall site
project. when renovation, improvement and redesign
occur, the needs of different age, groups and
convenience of those supervising children: should be
given greater consideration.
II -22
(f) Undertake an aggressive tree replacement and pruning
prosram at established open space sites in the city.
Refer to the Appendix for a summary of those sites in
need of tree replacement and /or pruning. Establish a
"City Tree Farm" on publicly owned property where
utilities are available as a reliable and cost
effective source for hardy tree species that will be
needed for replacement and new development.
(g) Schedule additional park improvement efforts in chosen
neighborhoods in conjunction with Community Development
Block Grant Proaram (CDBG) protects. It is difficult
to identify possible neighborhood improvement projects
beyond those which are now underway. Since CDBG funds
must be utilized primarily in low- income minority
neighborhoods, the priority by which park improvements
are funded should consider those areas which are known
to be occupied by a high percentage of low - income and
minority families.
GOAL 2: ACHIEVE IMPROVEMENT OF PUBLIC SPACES AND THE IMAGE
OF THE CITY TO STIMULATE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE
PUEBLO AREA.
(a) Develop a master landscaping plan for the following
street and hichwav corridors:
- Northern Avenue
- University Boulevard (Colorado 47)
- U.S. Highway 50 Bypass (through Belmont)
- U.S. Highway 50 West
- Fourth Street
- Santa Fe Avenue
The improvement of highways and thoroughfares which
carry State or Federal road designations must occur
with the full cooperation of the Colorado Highway
Department. The availability of landscape plans can
help .assure non -local government assistance as highway
beautification funds become available.
II -23
(b) Develop master landscaping plans for improving other
major street rights -of -way in accordance with locally
established priorities.
(c) Combine the I -25 freeway interchange beautification
Ilan according to the following priority listing:
(1) 29th Street Interchange
(2) U.S. Highway 50 Bypass Interchange
(3) Lake Avenue /Pueblo Boulevard Interchange
(4) 47th Street Interchange
(5) Other Interchanges as Resources Allow
(d) Aid in coordinating civic groups which sponsor as a
community proiect freeway beautification efforts.
Intensify the enforcement of existing citv ordinances
which could act to remove unsightly, unsafe, or
otherwise illegal activities ad to the I -25
freeway. The city is somewhat limited in its ability to
physically improve the image of the I -25 freeway through
the -city. Given unlimited resources, all of the visual
prob -lems of the freeway could physically be corrected.
Realistically, however, the city can plan to address a
major problem every two years as was done with the
inprovenent at the 1st Street Interchange. In the
neantime, extensive pressure t0 divert additional
highway funds for irprovements in the Pueblo area should
be the strategy.
(e) Establish "Pueblo" entry signs at eastern and western
entrances to the city on U.S. Hichwav 50. Expand,
further improve and publicize the Fred E. Weisbrod
Aircraft Museum at the Pueblo Memorial Airport as a
valor tourist /recreational attraction.

Section 2 — Environmental Scan
Westside Neighborhood
(Aggregate of Census Tracts 2, and 29.01)
Social Infrastructure
Compared to the entire City of pueblo, the
Westside neighborhood is home to a very large
proportion of young people. Based on a 1998
estimate, the median age of the area was 29.6
years; about 82 percent of the city's median age of
36.0 years. The Westside has a stable population.
Although it lost population between 1980 and rs
1998, it gained population during the decade of the
1970s. Almost 65 percent of the Westside area's rJ
population is Hispanic. That figure has remained CS
constant since 1970. Hispanics within the entire
City of Pueblo comprise about 46 percent of the
population. The concentration of Blacks in the area
(slightly over 3 percent) is a bit higher than is true
for the City of Pueblo.
AIEDIAY FAMELY ViCOME
ww, iu Y.ichborl=&
During the past three decades, there has been a major increase in the
numbers and percentages of single- parent families in the Westside
neighborhood. Somewhat over 40 percent of Westside families with
children are headed by a single parent. That is about five percentage points
higher than in Pueblo as a whole. The educational level of Westside
residents is rather low. Based on 1990 statistics, a little over one half of
the area's population over age 25, had completed high school, or its
equivalent, compared to the City of Pueblo, where almost three fourths of
the population had completed high school. Less than ten percent of the
Westside's population had completed college.
The percentage of owner occupied housing in the Nestside is somevyhat
lover than is the case for Pueblo as a whole although more than half of the
homes in Westside are owned, rather than rented. The ya' -c of homes is
considerably less than for the City of Pueblo. Median value is S- :1,953,
compared to S61,130 for the City of Pueblo, according to 'a 199S estimate.
Still, the relatively high proportion of home ownership attests to - L"e
stability of the neighborhood. Also, there has been essentially no charge
in the median value of homes since 1990, after accounting for inflation,
and expressing the figures in terms of real (constant) dollars.
Well over one third of the Westside's population is living in pore
`ledian family income is S17,981, compared to S32,23S for the city as a
whole. In other words, income of families in the Westside averages 55.8
percent of income for the typical Pueblo family. The rate of
unemployment has increased during each decade since 1970.

1999 Community Development Block Grant Application
Hyde Park
Pueblo, Colorado
Population to Be Served
Hyde Park was annexed to the city in 1968 and encompasses census tracts 29.01 and 2.
The Bureau of Census refers to these areas as Hyde Park North and Hyde Park South.
Hyde Park is geographically separated from the City of Pueblo, other commercial districts,
and public facilities. Information obtained from the 1990 census indicates that the median
family income in Hyde Park is $13,523 (compared to $24,997 city). In Hyde Park North,
33 percent of the families had income below the poverty level. In Hyde Park South 47
percent of the families had income below the poverty level. Other census data reveals:
■ 63% minority
■ 31 % female heads of households (compared to 20% city)
■ 20% receive Social Security
Family history information collected in 1992 from parents of children in the Colorado
Preschool Project and the Head Start Preschool program reflected this data:
■ 80% minorities
■ 30% speak a language other than English in the home
■ 40% are unemployed
■ 25% have transportation problems
■ 16% have major medical problems
■ 29% of the mothers are drop outs
■ 20% of the fathers are dropouts
Background
The contents in the proposal include projects which were part of the original community
planning process which began in 1993/94. Some of the requests are more recent
submissions. Residents participating in this proposal have lived in this area from six
months to 55 years. All projects requested or issues addressed in this proposal were
presented by residents of the Hyde Park community.
In 1994 when we participated in Pueblo's EZ application, several areas were identified for
improvement. It was felt that improved infrastructure and appearance of major
thoroughfares were important to attract businesses and potential home-owners, increase
the mobility and safety of our community, and provide tangible, visible evidence of
neighborhood revitalization. The major streets identified were Lowell Avenue, Tuxedo
Boulevard, West 18th Street, Lambert Avenue, and West 11th Street. In addition, it was
agreed that our proposals should continue to work on "bricks and mortar" by concentrating
on the areas in both north and south Hyde Park that did not yet have sidewalks, curb,
gutter, or paved streets.
Hyde Park 1999 Community Development Block Grant Application Page 2
Background - continued
Rather than building new communities or subdivisions, residents wanted to see our
community revitalized by having homes built on the many vacant lots available in Hyde
Park. Thanks to cooperative efforts from the city vacant-lot program, the Neighborhood
Housing Services, Habitat for Humanity, and others - visible progress has been made in
this area.
There are still many projects to be completed and many short -term and long -range goals
to accomplish. Our current project priority list includes projects that have been on the
waiting list and requested in the past, but not funded. We realize the likelihood of all
projects being funded is minimal but are anxious to see the city develop a long -range plan
addressing the needs as presented by our community.
Current Status
In October 1997, in response to a desire for access to literacy from our neighborhood, the
Pueblo Library District opened a Library Satellite at Hyde Park School. Colorado Blue Sky
(formerly Pueblo Developmental Disabilities) is housing their infant - stimulation program
at Hyde Park School. This year Pueblo Head Start is also using the school and is holding
a morning and afternoon class with the majority of their students coming from the Hyde
Park neighborhood. School District No. 60 is using the facility for their pre - school Jump
Start Program. The Board of Cooperative Education Services (BOCES) is also looking into
housing some of their specific programming in this now multi - purpose facility.
Neighborhood Housing Services has been invited to participate in our Hyde Park
revitalization plan and they have held several community meetings to help develop a
strategic plan. Due to the large size of the Hyde Park area, a specific target area has
been identified. They will continue to work on providing housing for low and moderate
income families, home rehabilitation, and neighborhood revitalization. Although they are
not able to serve the entire Hyde Park area at this time, there are some ways in which all
residents will benefit, for example, the most recent Hyde Park Neighborhood Clean -Up
Day.
We are happy to have a new business located in Hyde Park. A new car wash has been
built next to the Loaf & Jug and it is hoped that this will stimulate other businesses to
follow. Unfortunately, the West Side Market is for sale. It is hoped that the facility will
remain a grocery store. If not, the removal of this store will cause a great void in the
community because of our isolated geographical location.
City Council has approved the development of 80 acres west_ of 24th Street as a modular
home community.
The Holy Rosary Catholic Church on West 22nd was destroyed by fire on August 30,
1998.
Recreation and Leisure Activities Task Force
of the Communities of Pueblo 2010 Commission . .
March 19, 1999
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The Recreation and Leisure Task Force of the Communities of Pueblo 2010 Commission
supports the City of Pueblo's grant application to the State Board of the Great Outdoors
Colorado Trust Fund for both the Playground Enhancement Project and the Wildhorse
Enhancement Project.
These projects will greatly improve the playground facilities available at five public parks
located throughout the community. This improvement of park infrastructure has been a
prime object of our task force.
