The City of Golden Launches the New Website!

We're a .GOV! We are pleased to share that the City of Golden's new website can be reached at www.cityofgolden.gov. The .net site will be redirected to .gov in the coming days. In the meantime, we invite you to take our new site for a spin!

There are several new features including the Fix It! online reporting system, which allows you to directly report and track non-emergency issues to the City of Golden. Find a pothole on your street? Report it so we can "Fix it!" See a downed tree limb or a pesky water leak in a park or on a sidewalk? Report it so we can "Fix it!". You can also sign up for e-notifications to receive updates on your favorite pages, or use the handy park & trails search function to find amenities at your favorite outdoor recreational spots!

2024 Clear Creek Corridor Clean-up

We are gearing up for yet another busy summer season here in the City of Golden, and after such an overwhelmingly positive response to last year's creek corridor trash cleanups, we will again be coordinating Monday morning pickups through the summer, beginning on Monday, June 17. Volunteers will be dispersed along the creek corridor and this year we will also be expanding out to cover nearby streets to pick up trash along flat surfaces of the trails and sidewalks and in parks and parking areas.

We will meet each Monday morning on the creekside patio of the Golden Natural History Museum located at 923 10th Street, Golden, CO 80401. Volunteers should check-in at the table on the patio to sign in, receive their parking permit (see below for more info), and receive any necessary gear and instructions for the activity. Volunteers can check-in anytime beginning at 7:00 a.m. and volunteers may help for as long as their schedule allows, but we finish by 9:00 a.m.

Learn more and sign up online today.
