Our first post comes from @spalcorn, who took this stellar photo at the grand opening of the Montrose Water Park, which was funded with a $259,384 grant from GOCO.
Next up, we have GOCO staffer Emily Orbanek's dad, Greg Orbanek, at his favorite GOCO project in Grand Junction. Not to worry, he won't be getting any special treatment for his GOCO connection! He is, however, eligible to win a state parks day pass thanks to snapping this pic in James M. Robb Colorado River Park!
And last, but certainly not least, we've got @cedarvista's picture of the Aurora Reservoir Fishing Pier, funded by GOCO in 2012 with a $169,450 grant.

Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state’s parks, trails, wildlife, rivers and open spaces. GOCO’s independent board awards competitive grants to local governments and land trusts, and makes investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Created by voters in 1992, GOCO has funded more than 4,500 projects in all 64 counties without any tax dollar support. The grants are funded by GOCO’s share of Colorado Lottery revenues, which are divided between GOCO, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the Conservation Trust Fund and school construction.
