March 10 Community Forum: The Future of Park Hill Golf Course


By Georgia Garsey, Your Hub, March 5 2017

Original Article Here

 

Park Hill Golf Course is a beautiful and historic piece of open space located about five miles from Downtown Denver. Not only do golfers report a great golfing experience at the 155 acre course, but the appearance of foxes, hawks and other creatures in the heart of the city lend to the feeling of getting away for awhile in a green and tree-filled landscape. Bob Hope golfed here and it was the home course of Bebe Zaharias who won three U.S. Women’s Opens and is often cited as the top woman athlete of the 20th Century.

All these folks, famous or not, have been treated to copious amounts of – let’s just say it – FRESH AIR! And this is a good news story in a city that has received an F rating from the American Lung Association for ozone emissions.

The Park Hill Golf Course is now facing an uncertain future. The land is owned by the Clayton Trust, a non-profit that provides high quality education for birth to five year olds, especially those of limited opportunities. Clayton claims it requires $1,000,000 in yearly lease revenue from the golf course or $24 million from land sales to continue its mission. The revenues received from the PHGC lease represent 7% of Clayton’s revenues. The course is currently operated by Arcis Equity Partners. Its lease expires at the end of 2018, and it has until June 30 to decide whether to exercise its option of renewing the first of its two 5-year options to renew. It also has a right of first refusal to acquire the PHGC land during the term of the lease.

Construction to close lanes on York Street and 23rd Avenue near City Park Golf Course
Saunders Construction and their subcontractor, Iron Woman Construction, are scheduled to begin a waterline relocation project starting the week of February 26, 2018. The project extends along East 23rd Avenue and York Street. *Note: Access to the Denver Zoo, Denver Museum Nature and Science, and City Park on 23rd Avenue will remain open the entire time.
Construction will be done in stages to minimize impacts to the public during special events and peak periods of traffic. Detours will be in place for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicle traffic. The contractors will make sure traffic continues to flow safely through the work zones.
Project Info:
The costs for the waterline relocation is approximately $5 million and is part of the City Park Golf Course Redesign project. The work will take roughly 2 1/2 months to complete. The project includes the following:
• Realignment of Denver Water’s pipes, to remove them from inside of the City Park Golf Course site and install them in East 23rd Avenue and York Street
• Repaving and resurfacing the road as needed
Traffic Impacts:
• 23rd Avenue: Partial lane closures on 23rd Avenue between Steele and York Streets, with flaggers controlling traffic.
• 23rd Avenue weekend closures: There will also be full closures of all lanes on East 23rd Avenue between Steele and York Streets on the weekends of March 3 – 4, March 10-11, and potentially on March 17-18 if additional time for the work is needed.
• 24th Avenue: Full lane closures on 24th Avenue between York Street and Gaylord Street.
• York Street: Two lanes of York Street will be closed with one lane open in each direction.
The majority of the construction work will take place Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with some night work as necessary.
