Rental Update

If you are planning to rent the Venture Center or one of the parks in Brighton Crossings, we ask that you avoid using the Brighton Crossings website to reserve your rentals. Instead the Venture Center will only be scheduling rentals, after a rental consultation is done with our rental coordinator. Please call (720)643-5818 for an appointment or email our rental coordinator directly at mwright@denverymca.org. This way there is no confusion or missing expectations.  
Thank you, YMCA staff!

News & Projects Updates


Vandalism costs the community money!

Recently, several of the neighborhood parks and recreation centers, have been affected by vandalism. In addition to these damages being an inconvenience to residents, vandalism comes at a cost to the Brighton Crossings community.

Reminder, all outdoor parks are open from sunrise to sunset. The community would like to ask for your help to try to stop the damage being done in parks, typically occurring on weekends after 8:00 pm. If you see individuals in the park after the posted hours, please contact non-emergency dispatch to report this activity 303-655-2300.

The Brighton Police Department is forming a community partnership where all residents and businesses that have cameras on their property can register them with the police department. Video cameras are increasingly being used in both residential and commercial properties to prevent crime. As such, video surveillance has become extremely helpful in solving crimes, identifying perpetrators, and serves as valuable evidence in court. https://brightonco.gov/1314/Neighborhood-Surveillance-Camera-Registr

It is a serious crime to damage public property, and individuals who are caught will be cited and fined. Brighton Crossings is a beautiful community to live in. Let’s all do our part to keep it that way. If you have any information on vandalism in the community’s parks, please call the Brighton Police Department at 303-655-2300.
