If you are disappointed that the County Commissioners and Boulder County Open Space Advisory Committee made the decision to cancel the availability of the indoor arena for all horse riders on Wednesdays during the winter, you can voice your concerns regarding this decision and encourage them to reconsider. Previously the indoor arena was open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. for horse riding from November through April to anyone. This was a great resource for the equine community during the winter months, especially for those without access to an indoor arena, and it was in keeping with the Parks & Open Space Mission to conserve agricultural resources and provide public uses that reflect community values.This decision to cancel was recommended by fairgrounds staff and approved by both POSAC and the county commissioners. Here are important ways to share your comments: |
#1: Boulder County Open Space Advisory Committee: Sign up to attend the Dec 19th POSAC meeting (in person or via Zoom). Sign-up opens one week before the meeting (so Dec 12th). And/or send your comments to POSAC, any time, through the form that’s at the bottom of the same page: |
#2: Boulder County Commissioners: Sign up to comment at the next public comment session on Thursday Dec 5th at 1 pm. Can’t make that date? Members of the public are welcome and encouraged to attend any monthly public comment sessions to speak on any issue of county concern.
