Fairplay River Park

About Fairplay River Park

The Town of Fairplay’s largest and most heavily utilized in-town park is the Fairplay Beach. It is located adjacent to the river and within a 5-minute walk to Front Street. Activities at the Fairplay Beach, such as fly fishing and gold panning, are a large draw for tourists, members of neighboring communities and town inhabitants alike. The area also receives heavy use during annual Town events such as Burro Days, the South Park Arts Celebration & Plein Air Festival and Contin-tail Fairplay Rock & Gem Show. The Town owns tracts of land along the river corridor to both the east and west of the Fairplay Beach which, once developed, will serve to expand the recreational activities within the town limits and serve as a destination location. Hereinafter, the totality of both the undeveloped parcels of land and the Fairplay Beach will be referred to as the “River Park”. It is imperative for the Town to establish a prudent and practical master plan for the River.
