South Suburban Gold Medal 2020 Committee

In the spring of 2008 South Suburban Park and Recreation District’s Board of Directors invited all District residents to participate in the process of updating the District’s Gold Medal long-range plan. This plan will help guide the District in fulfilling the park and recreation needs of the community for the next several years.

The Gold Medal Citizens’ Committees met during the spring and summer months of 2008 to analyze current recreational programs and facilities, parks, trails and open space; to research demographics and trends; and to make recommendations to the District’s Gold Medal Steering Committee. Based on the various draft recommendations the Steering Committee presented their final recommendations at the Board of Directors meeting on Wed., November 12, 2008.

LaDonna Jurgensen, a local CPA and recognized community leader, and Vorry Moon, who has over 30 years of community development and planning expertise, were appointed by the Board of Directors to co-chair the Steering Committee.

South Suburban Public Art Committee

General Information

The South Suburban Public Art Committee (SSPAC) is an advisory committee appointed by the South Suburban Board of Directors.

Mission Statement

The SSPAC reviews and makes recommendations as per the Process to Select and Place Art in Public Places within South Suburban Parks and Recreation.

Goals/Objectives

The SSPAC may be involved in:

• Selecting the best art for the best available location.
• Assuring reflection of community values and culture to residents and visitors.
• Striving for quality, not quantity, in art to enrich the public environment.
• Protecting the public’s health, safety and welfare in regards to placed art.

Currently, the SSPAC has provided artistic recommendations to playground renovations, park and facility design and many other projects. The Committee commissioned artists in the last few years to create original pieces for the indoor entrance to the Goodson Recreation Center (hanging mobile), an outdoor sculpture at the west end of the Goodson Recreation Center, and a new outdoor piece at Colorado Journey (to be completed spring 2010). The next project for the Committee to review is the entrance gate artwork at South Platte Park.

South Suburban Public Art Committee Exhibition Processes

The District will provide exhibit space at various recreation facilities, for student artwork generated in District programs and for artwork created by individuals and groups from Colorado. Art exhibits at these facilities are intended to support and promote the District’s mission to enrich the lives of our residents. The materials displayed in the recreation facilities must be suitable for viewing by District patrons of all ages. Therefore, the South Suburban Public Art Committee (SSPAC) and the South Suburban Board of Directors reserve the right to ensure that art displays are balanced and appropriate.
