Dedicated to Preserving & Protecting
470 Acres of Off-Leash Dog Access
Like you, we love the wide open space, mountain vistas and
multitude of trails begging our furry friends and us to roam free at Westminster Hills Open Space
Global Clean Up Week
Earth Day started in 1970 as a “Teach In” to raise awareness about the importance of a clean environment. Over 20 million people in the USA participated in picking up trash, planting trees, and spreading the word.
Today Earth Day is called the Global Clean Up because it is celebrated worldwide. Last year over ONE BILLION people helped out.
From April 13th to the 19th the City of Westminster is sponsoring a week-long, city-wide Global Clean Up Event
at Parks and Open Spaces, including our Westminster Hills Open Space Dog Off-leash Natural Area.
It's easy to get involved. Find the location on the MAP where you want to volunteer and fill out the City's SIGN UP FORM . Be sure to include the parks ID# on the form; the WHOS Off-leash Dog Area UniqueID is #18.
Trash bags, gloves, and other supplies will be provided.
To thank participants, on the 19th, a BBQ will be held at City Park Recreation Center from 11 am-1 pm. All ages welcome!
