Overview

• Denver closed on the 155-acre property on Oct. 2, formally acquiring it from Westside Investment Partners through a land exchange.
• Public access will begin Oct. 28 for limited, passive use during daylight hours as crews address maintenance needs and install lighting, with some fencing remaining.
• Under the swap, the city traded 145 undeveloped acres south of Denver International Airport, with both parcels appraised at $12.76 million.
• The conservation easement requiring golf use ends with city ownership, clearing the way for a future park expected to be Denver’s fourth largest.
• Long-term design and programming will be shaped through a Sasaki-led community engagement process, with construction dollars contingent on November’s bond vote.
