CLEORA PARK OPENING |
Valerian capped off a very busy week with the opening of Cleora Park in Salida! Located in the heart of the Confluent Park Neighborhood, this new spot offers something for everyone—from accessible trails and natural play elements like boulders and log steppers, to colorful, low-water pollinator gardens.
We loved collaborating with the City of Salida Parks and Recreation team to bring this vibrant, multifunctional park to life. Designed for residents and visitors of all ages, features include:
•Accessible Trails & Gathering Spaces: Seamless connectivity with comfortable seating and a central plaza.
•Scenic Views: A custom shade structure positioned for prime views of the Arkansas Hills and Sawatch Range.
•Natural Play: Integrated boulders and log steppers for nature-based play.
•Sustainable Landscape: A rich mix of evergreen and deciduous trees, colorful low-water pollinator plantings, and a newly installed irrigation system.
As native seed establishment gets underway to wrap up this phase, we look forward to seeing this space thrive for years to come. We’re so grateful to team up with the City of Salida Parks and Recreation on this project. Be sure to stop by, enjoy the shade, and take in the view!
