About the Location: Toll Gate Open Space is a 75-acre open space that stretches from Riviera Way to East Chenango Avenue. It also includes the 2.36 mile West Tollgate Trail that intersects Toll Gate, Pioneer, and Saddle Rock Ridge Parks. 

Spring 2024
One of TPRD’s goals is to create a sustainable park system – which includes turning some of our unused grass areas into drought-friendly xeriscape landscaping. We received a grant from Arapahoe County Open Space to help us remove some of the unused irrigated grass West of S. Picadilly Street and convert it to native drought-tolerant plants. 
Fall 2024
Due to weather and difficulty finding a project contractor, this xeriscape project was put on pause to reevaluate the scope and proposed expense.
April 2025
A new contractor has been selected for the Tollgate Open Space Xeriscape Project. Construction should begin in Spring 2025 and should be complete by Fall 2025.

We will continue to provide updates on social media and our website regarding the Tollgate Open Space: Xeriscape Project. 

Please note that the design concepts presented for the Tollgate Open Space: Xeriscape Project 2025 are subject to change based on construction costs and design needs.
