Columbine Park Bathroom House Paint Restoration

Project title: 2025 Columbine Park

Project purpose or justification: This project supports the goals outlined in Buena Vista’s Trails Master Plan and fulfills Action Item 2.1 of the Public Park Inventory, which calls for the regular maintenance and upkeep of park facilities. Repainting the exterior of the public restroom facility enhances the overall appearance, safety, and usability of a key amenity within the Town’s park system. As a frequently used trailhead and park access point, the facility contributes directly to residents’ and visitors’ recreational experiences. Maintaining it in good condition reinforces Buena Vista’s commitment to high-quality, well-maintained public spaces that promote outdoor activity, community pride, and long-term infrastructure stewardship.
