Venue Overview

Robert F. Clement Park is a community park of more than 200 acres in the southwest Denver metro area, set in the Columbine area of Jefferson County, with a Littleton mailing address. Run by the Foothills Park and Recreation District, it wraps around the 60-acre Johnston Reservoir and packs athletic fields, softball diamonds, tennis and pickleball courts, sand volleyball, a skate park and 1.4 miles of lighted trails into one site. That mix makes it a natural home for fun runs, youth and adult leagues, tournaments, concerts and community festivals.

History

Jefferson County Open Space built the park in 1987 with county open space tax funds, on land that was once part of the Grant Family Ranch. It is named for former County Commissioner Bob Clement, who helped secure the purchase and funding, and a memorial garden beside the reservoir honors his wife, Bunny Clement, who succeeded him in office. Foothills Park and Recreation managed the park from 1989 and took ownership in 2018, then completed a major renovation between 2016 and 2020 with further improvements in 2022. The park is also home to the Columbine Memorial.
