Denver will soon open its newest park after the city announced a plan to acquire the 155-acre Park Hill Golf Course, a long-debated property in northeast Denver.

The city will give a plot of land it owns near Denver International Airport to the former golf course’s owners, Westside Investment Partners, in exchange for the future park, Mayor Mike Johnston said earlier this month.

Denver Parks and Recreation plans to open the area to the public this summer but will continue to develop amenities there after soliciting input from the community about what residents want to see in the space. It will be one of the largest parks in the city.

Let us know what you want to see at the park and what you think it should be named using the form below:
