2022 Adopt-A-Flowerbed Volunteers helped make City Park more beautiful!

/in

 

City Park’s 2022 Adopt-a-Flowerbed Program was a huge success!

From May through October, volunteers generously gave their time and energy to help Parks staff beautify the park — weeding, pruning, fertilizing, and mulching the park’s many garden beds.

Thanks to the many program participants whose efforts make the park a more beautiful place for us all to enjoy.

Interested in helping to keep City Park blooming next spring?

Volunteer participation is flexible and a weekly calendar of gardening events will help you set your own schedule, working on your own or as part of a team. You can also participate in occasional large group projects.   No prior experience is necessary.

Contact Georgia Garnsey ([email protected]), Maria Flora ([email protected]) or Patty Cordova ([email protected]) for more details on becoming a volunteer.

17th Street Closure Update

/in

Road construction to address inadequate storm drainage continues along 17th Avenue south of City Park.

  • 17th Avenue west of Colorado Avenue is currently open.
  • 17th Avenue east of Colorado Avenue is currently closed.

More about the project:

“The storm water infrastructure installed in the 1930s became undersized for major storms as Denver continued to grow,” according to Nancy Kuhn, the communications director for Denver Public Works. “This storm water improvement project is needed to address recurrent flooding issues in an area of town most at risk for flooding.”

Tunneling is required for this project in an attempt to keep the highly trafficked Colorado Blvd flowing.
