Matchett Park would provide much needed fields, trails, local leaders say

Just off Patterson Road there is a collection of undeveloped fields and a few informal trails that, if developed, would be the largest city park in Grand Junction. Matchett Park, which had been the proposed site for a community center, sports fields, bike trails and a community pavilion before being voted down in 2019, has sat undeveloped since the city purchased it in 1996. Since then, the city has developed two large parks â Canyon View and Long Family Memorial Park â but, in the time since, demand for sports fields and outdoor shelters has more than doubled. While a community center was identified as the top priority for Grand Junction residents in the recent Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan, there was interest in developing Matchett Park specifically. That interest extended to amenities a developed park would provide, such as multipurpose fields and trails.
