Bringing a Pond Back

Monument Valley Park in Colorado Springs, Colorado once had a beautiful pond. But with the city under budget constraints, management of the pond was suspended. The water slowly drained back into the groundwater, leaving behind an empty pond bed. The city’s parks and trails manager is evaluating the possibility of installing an EPDM pond liner, or perhaps some clay, but nothing will be considered until the money is available. It’s possible that some late summer rain will relieve the parks of irrigation costs, and if so the money might be available to fix the pond.
