Historic District Exploration

Exploring Historic District designation for City Park

City Park Designation Exploration Committee

In 2014, Historic Denver agreed to facilitate a committee to explore the possibility of designating City Park as a local historic district. Posted below are links to documents to inform and expand understanding of the landmarking process with some specific information about City Park. For documents relating to Historic District designation and a FAQ on the landmarking process in general, go to  http://www.historicdenver.org/programs/city-park/

City Park Friends and Neighbors and City Park Alliance have donated a combined $8,740 toward updating the City Park Master Plan and creating Design Guidelines for the park.
