Let’s face it…Durango is a great place to live, work, and play. We are a vibrant
community with diverse interests, but we share the commitment to economic and
environmental sustainability. Your city government reflects these community values
through the services it offers, including:
• On-street parking corrals for bikes
• Animas River Trail that stretches 7 miles through the heart of town, connecting
people with places
• Residential and commercial recycling of cardboard, paper, glass, plastics, and
woody debris
• 2,600 acres of dedicated open space with more than 100 miles of trails
• Transit buses and free trolleys that offer service throughout the city
• Historic downtown with close to 200 events each year
• Public library that doubles as a community gathering place
• More than 30 city parks
• Extensive collection of public art
• Ongoing efforts to improve energy efficiency in city buildings and facilities
The City of Durango is proud to offer these programs and services to its residents,
businesses, and visitors. If you’ve never taken a ride on a Transit bus or visited our
Community Recreation Center, use the coupons in this book to try them out. And use
the coupon for a load of mulch to conserve water in your garden – it’s free and probably
recycled from your neighbor’s tree!
