COLORADO SPRINGS – Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO) just awarded a $350 thousand grant to help with the renovation of Panorama Park in the southeast area of Colorado Springs. “We have heard from residents about how much they value Panorama Park and look forward to the final stage of planning for new amenities,” said Parks Director, Karen Palus. The updates at the park will be the largest neighborhood park renovation in city history.
