Warm Springs Preserve

Thanks to overwhelming community support, the City of Ketchum has purchased the beloved Warm Springs Preserve – 65 acres of open space for the community to enjoy in perpetuity.
Priorities for the Preserve include off-leash dog access, creek and habitat restoration, new water-conscious irrigation system, walking trails, informal gatherings and activities, Nordic ski and snowshoe trails, and public restrooms. Development, organized sports and reserved private or commercial events would be restricted.
We anticipate the following timeline for the Master Plan process:
- May 2022 – retained design team for Master Plan
- June 21st – Summer Solstice public launch event at Warm Springs Preserve (thank you to everyone who joined us!)
- September – November 2022 – conduct public engagement opportunities
- January – April 2023 – Submit for final approval and permitting
- Summer – Fall 2023 – Phase I improvements (donor wall, signage, benches)
- 2023+ – Phase II: public restroom & maintenance building, new irrigation system, revegetation, and trail, flood & stream restoration
