Planned improvements include a new park entrance, restoration of the lake shoreline and island, expanded trails, accessible amenities, a dedicated festival area, and upgraded infrastructure. <\/p>\n<p>In the November 2024 general election, El Paso County voters approved three propositions from the Capital Improvement Bond Program: Proposition A for parks and recreation improvements, Proposition B for a new medical examiner facility, and Proposition E for the County\u2019s first dedicated animal shelter. Together, these projects represent a $155 million investment in community spaces, public health, and animal welfare, the County said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
