Thank City Council

Dedicated to Preserving & Protecting
440 Acres of Off-Leash Dog Access

Like you, we love the wide open space, 360 degree vistas and
multitude of trails begging our furry friends and us to roam free at Westminster Hills Open Space.

HOORAY! From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you for being a part of the pawsitive solutions. 

On July 8, 2024, Westminster City Council voted 5-2 to initial approval of an ordinance designed to establish the Westminster Hills Open Space Dog Off-Leash and Natural Area, a designation that officially provides a generous slice of land upon which canines can continue to run, frolic and play. 
More to come as the Guardians re-assess our role in preserving and protecting this unique open space gem.
