About this Location

The Board of County Commissioners approved the acquisition and purchase of what is now the Arenal Open Space in April 2016. The property is part of the former Swendson Dairy located in the South Valley on Arenal Road directly across from Rio Grande High School and is currently being leased by Rasband Dairy for alfalfa production. During the initial PROS planning process, the community identified Arenal as a very high priority for county open space acquisition. The county is currently continuing to work with local community members and organizations to develop a management plan for the 34-acre piece of property that will include wildlife habitat, educational opportunities, and prioritize local agriculture on the property in order to appropriately honor the farming heritage and spirit of the South Valley.
