Places to play, gather, compete. All communities in Colorado have varying needs for these types of places and GOCO funds help make them possible. Cities, counties and park and recreation districts are eligible for GOCO grants to acquire, expand and improve local parks, outdoor recreation facilities and environmental education facilities. For some communities, GOCO funding provides an opportunity to build a first playground or ballfield. Others use GOCO assistance to complete major sports facilities. Local Government Park and Outdoor Recreation (LPOR) Grants and Mini-Grants--for smaller projects in communities of 5,000 people or less--are offered twice yearly.
