History
Hyland Hyland Hills Park and Recreation District, established in 1955, has the honor of being the first park and recreation district in the State of Colorado. Today, Hyland Hills serves nearly 110,000 residents in a 24 square mile area located in southwest Adams County and including: the areas of Westminster and Arvada located in Adams County; parts of Northglenn, Thornton and unincorporated Adams County; and, the City of Federal Heights. The Hyland Hills Foundation has given thousands of dollars in scholarships to children living in the District to ensure that no child will be unable to participate in District activities due to financial constraints. In the fall of 2007, the Carroll Butts Althletic Park, a joint operation with the City of Westminster was opened in the old ice arena building at 94th and Perry St. in Westminster.
