The CoGO Fall Fieldtrip will be happening this Saturday, September 17th. The field trip will take place at Confluence Park in Denver, and will be led by Rick McLaughlin whose firm designed the park. Confluence Park is used for kayaking recreation, and is also utilized by the public as a natural asset. Rick will be discussing how they designed the kayak park, the geomorphic elements of the design, and their efforts to minimize flood risks.
We will meet at the Starbucks at REI in downtown Denver at 9:30 AM. See this map http://g.co/maps/dgnrx for directions. Parking will be problematic, so make sure to plan ahead on this. REI parking is for REI customers only, so we suggest that you try to park somewhere on Platte Street, 15th street, or at the Aquarium (which is pay parking). Saturday is the REI member garage sale, at 10 am, so expect that there may be a long line outside of the door. We will be meeting outside the Starbucks, and will be walking over to the river to discuss the design from there (so if you are late you will find us near the river).
