Webster Lake, located at E. B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park, is a 10 acre lake characterized by a shallow lake bottom, shoreline and a fishery stocked by the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Numerous aquatic plant species provide a quality ecosystem, which adds to the more natural lake setting and an improved aesthetic quality. We invite you to come to Webster Lake and experience a day of fishing, walking, or renting paddleboats.

Got the dirt on enviro-friendly gardening?
Enviro-friendly gardening is low-impact gardening and lawn care. Some enviro-friendly quick tips are to:
- Build healthy soil. Add organic matter or the nutrients plants need to thrive and, if possible, use compost.
Click here for information about composting.
- Choose plant life that is tolerant to our climate and weather conditions. When planting consider xeriscaping options.
Xeriscape Colorado! Inc. is a wonderful resource to help you choose plant life that thrives in Colorado temperatures and requires less watering.
- Choose and use non-toxic weed and pest controls. Consider natural products to control weeds and garden pests.
- Celebrate Earth Day and plant a tree.
Earth Day is more than a celebration of our planet. It's a time for us to learn how our everyday efforts impact the earth. Each year, the city celebrates Earth Day by educating youth on the importance of practicing earth friendly activities to protect the environment as they share in a tree planting activity. Find out about the Colorado initiative to plant one million trees over the next 20 years and how your tree planting efforts can add to the million-tree count!
