Master Plan Timeline:

The Master Plan is set to be finalized and delivered to the Town in May 2025. Upcoming milestones  include:

  • Community Survey to gather feedback will be available in April and May

  • Town Council will discuss the Master Plan and Community Survey results on May 13

  • Further community outreach and engagement will take place during the summer

  • Town Council will make a final decision in early August about placing a question on the 2025 ballot

The Gypsum Creek Recreation Area Masterplan process started in 2022 with a Conceptual Study guided by a steering committee that included members of Town Council, Town staff and Mountain Recreation staff. The plan also included community feedback gathered at a public meeting.

The Town has contracted with Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture for both phases of this project. Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture is a highly accomplished firm that specializes in recreational master planning and landscape design.  They also designed the Gypsum Recreation Center and the Gypsum Public Library.

In 2023, the Town advanced to a master planning phase to develop more detailed plans for the improvements identified in the Conceptual Study, as well as construction timelines and budget estimates. The priorities identified for the master plan included:

  • Developing areas that could provide non-golf recreation options for gathering, shade, seating, play activities, gardening, food, games, fitness and pickleball

  • Providing options for a new pool and potentially relocating the outdoor pool

  • Retrofitting the pool house to house the pro shop

  • Constructing golf cart storage

  • Building a community pavilion

  • Remodeling the clubhouse to expand the kitchen and restaurant
