Denver city officials on Monday unveiled their plan to improve Skyline Park in the city's central business district.
Jenna Harris, the downtown parks program manager for Denver Parks and Recreation, called Skyline Park the most significant park in Denver’s central business district.
Skyline Park as it stands offers several activities for the public, including a beer garden, pickleball court and ice skating. However, Harris said there aren't a lot of programs being provided to the public. The Skyline Project aims to change that."The first goal is to be a welcoming destination with program elements that have food and beverage, a flexible plaza space. It will be a park that will be a cultural icon.
The changes are made possible through funding from the Elevate Denver Bond Program and Denver Parks and Recreation.The community will get the chance to learn more about Phase 1 of the project as well as provide their input Tuesday during a public open house from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Skyline Beer Garden, located on Arapahoe Street between the 16th Street Mall and 17th Street.
