- Paintbrush Park pond / 6400 East Tributary
The historic stock pond located near Paintbrush Park is currently out of compliance with water rights and flood safety standards. Castle Rock Water is, instead of removing it, planning to rebuild a similar-sized pond and incorporate some recreational features. To restore and stabilize the channel and stream banks, a series of riprap structures and riffle pool drops will be installed and blend with the natural landscape. The pond dam will be rebuilt and strengthened. A mature tree and some vegetation will be removed but repurposing of many natural materials will be used to protect and armor the stream.
A network of soft surface trails along and crossing the channel and around the pond will connect to nearby trails. Several fishing platforms will be built and the pond will be stocked periodically.
No water disruptions or road closures are anticipated but residents should expect construction traffic in the area. Access to some trails may be periodically affected. There are no public parking concerns associated with this project that we are aware of.
Anderson Consulting Engineers is the project design consultant. Final design plans are under review by the Town, and permit applications are pending from the Corps of Engineers and the State Engineers Office. Construction is anticipated to begin late fall or early winter of 2023.
