Today, cultural remains and archival information exist to explain and interpret that history. The primary past land uses of the airport site offer an easily comprehensible vehicle for viewing the history of the area. The earliest uses Euroamericans found for the airport site and the lands around it were connected to the development of a Colorado plains transportation network. The second, and more pervasive, use was for agriculture. The agricultural uses represent many spec­ ializations including ranching, dryland and irrigated farming, dairying and cattle feed­ ing in preparation for marketing. The rel­ ative importance of these activities chang­ ed over time as did the methods different individuals used. Closely associated with agriculture have been shifts in land owner­ ship patterns. By 1910 most of the land had passed from the public domain into private ownership.

The report pulls together the components of sever- al past and present city planning efforts that relate to the South Platte. It examines the existing conditions along the Platte as well as feedback from the general public on the desire for more local recreational opportunities along the river. From this analysis the report suggests a path to devel- oping an integrated system of parks, recreation, open space and trails within the river corridor. Why Invest in the South Platte River Corridor? In Colorado, investment in outdoor recreation is often one of the greatest economic development tools any community can provide.
