CPRA is a dynamic, proactive organization that creates healthy residents and livable communities by promoting excellence in parks and recreation. Our mission is to promote the parks and recreation profession and its growth throughout the State of Colorado.
CPRA was established in 1951 as the trade association for parks and recreation professionals in Colorado. CPRA has been providing continuing education, professional networking and resources since that time.
CPRA is currently undergoing review to change from a 501c4 to a 501c3 by merging the association with the CPRA Foundation.

COTREX Trails and Trailheads
Added in February 2019, the Colorado Trail System, now titled the Colorado Trail Explorer (COTREX), endeavors to map every trail in the state of Colorado. Currently there are nearly 40,000 miles of trails mapped. Trails come from a variety of sources (USFS, BLM, local parks & recreation departments, local governments) and are compiled by CPW contractor Natural Atlas. Responsibility for accuracy of the data rests with the source.

CPW Trail Segments
Recognizing that an all-inclusive, spatially-aware model of trails Colorado State Park is a useful management tool and a valuable public resource this geodatabase is designed to accomplish three objectives.
1. Inventorying all designated trails Colorado Parks & Wildlife maintain in Colorado State associate each trail segment with 38 applicable attributes. (length, width, surface, difficulty, etc.)

2. Determine and track if the following 11 uses are permitted on each trail segment: 1:Hiking, 2:Biking, 3: Equestrian 4:Pets, 5:Snowshoeing. 6: Cross Country Skiing, 7: Snowmobiling, 8: Grooming, 9: OHV 10: Other Power Driven Mobility Devices (OPDMD), 11:Wheelchair friendliness (Not ADA accessibility)

3. Model Colorado State Park Trail system in a spatially aware three dimensional space and associate each trail segment to 38 attributes that can be used to producing a set of standardized trail maps for public and internal use.
