Northglenn is located nine miles
north of Denver, Colorado, in western Adams County along Interstate
25. It began as a planned community in the spring of 1959, when a
housing and land development firm finalized plans for a large
housing subdivision north of the Denver Metropolitan area. The
vision of a well-balanced community included acres of open space for
park and recreation development along with residential, industrial,
educational and commercial plans. From the first residential
development in 1959, Northglenn has grown to a home rule City with a
population of 33,130 and encompasses 7.5 square miles of land.
Northglenn is a community recognized for
a well-planned trail system that makes it possible to walk virtually
in any direction within the City. Recreational facilities include
550 acres of parks and open space, indoor and outdoor swimming
pools, tennis courts, ball fields, and a recreation center.
The Northglenn Community Center is one of the largest
recreational facilities in the state.
In December of 2001, Northglenn received America's Crown Community
Award by American City and County Magazine for the rehabilitation
and re-design of one of the City's major parks-Webster Lake and E.
B. Rains, Jr. Memorial Park.
Its strategic location allows for easy and convenient access to all
parts of the Denver metro area, the city of Boulder, Denver
International Airport and the Rocky Mountains. As such, it is the
hub of the thriving north metro area.
