The Croke Reservoir Nature Area, located off of Huron Street north of Naiad Drive, provides a perfect arena for fishing, a leisurely stroll, or just a place to sit and relax. The eastern shore recently went through a major construction project to enhance the amenities and accessibility.

Saturday, Oct. 23, 2010, Northglenn High School, 601 W. 100th Place
Trick or treating is one of the great adventures of Halloween for kids and adds to many childhood memories.
In addition to all the fun and excitement Halloween offers, it’s important for children to be safe.
In Northglenn, we have the perfect Halloween alternative that is safe yet fun for all children to enjoy, with Safe Street Halloween, now in its ninth year.
Sponsored and organized by the Northglenn Police Department and Northglenn High School, local students transform the school into a mix of haunted houses.
Thousands of people turn out for this free event, which offers candy, games, cookie decorating, ghostly storytelling, a costume contest and plenty of family-friendly entertainment.
