A five-acre parcel near Central Meadowbrook is being considered for a neighborhood park. This proposed green space could bring environmental benefits and offer more recreational opportunities for nearby residents.

An unassuming park in eastern Grand Junction became the setting for an extraordinary sight earlier this month. Local resident Debbie Garfield, walking her dog among the tall trees, encountered a Great Horned Owl—the largest bird she had ever seen. The owl’s visit offers a glimpse into Colorado’s diverse neighborhood wildlife.
