NEW DEDICATED FUNDING SOURCE:

Thanks for Denver voters who passed the 2018 Ballot Measure 2A: Parks & Open Space Sales Tax, a 0.25% sales tax has been dedicated to the improvement and expansion of Denver Parks, allowing implementation of Game Plan for a Healthy City to begin!

The additional tax funds, combined with existing city general funding, will create new opportunities to realize Game Plan goals in the following areas:

• Acquiring Additional Land for Parks, Trails, and Open Space • Improving and Maintaining Existing Parks, Trails, and Open Space,

including in Denver’s Mountain Parks • Building and Maintaining New Parks and Trails • Restoring and Protecting Natural Features like Waterways, Rivers, Canals,

and Streams • Expanding the Urban Tree Cover in Parks, Parkways, and Public

Right-Of-Ways

Our goal is to maintain the legacy we’ve inherited and extend the legacy for future generations.
