mini-parks as a component of the City's neighborhood park system.
The Waterglen Development is located in the southeast corner of the square mile adjacent to I-25 and
Vine Drive. The development is bordered on the west and north by a large irrigation canal. It is
anticipated that additional residential development west and north of the canal will generate the need

from the Waterglen Mini-Park and connect the two with a pedestrian bridge.
