We couldn’t have reached this amazing and wonderful conclusion without the tireless efforts of our dedicated volunteers!
On Wednesday, January 15th, Mayor Mike Johnston and the City and County of Denver announced the historic acquisition of the former Park Hill Golf Course land for a beautiful and vital park for all!
In a historic deal, the City of Denver will make its largest ever single acquisition of private property to become an urban park with the purchase of Park Hill Golf Course. Denver Parks and Recreation will oversee the 155-acre open space which will be open for public enjoyment by the summer of 2025. Acquiring the former Park Hill Golf Course will give 155-acres of land back to the community with walking trails, native plant species, a mature canopy provided by hundreds of trees, a dog park and much more.
The acquisition was achieved through a land exchange agreement negotiated by Mayor Johnston involving a near acre-for-acre land exchange, in which Denver will trade 145-acres of city-owned industrial property in Adams County for the 155-acre Park Hill property currently owned by Westside Development.
