East Denver LIVING WELL Magazine welcomes Denver Parks & Recreation

The Denver Parks system spans a 138-year history from the first park created in 1868 to the nearly 15,000 acres of urban parks and mountain parkland today. It embraces nearly 3,000 acres of “traditional” parks and parkways, 2,500 urban natural acres and 154.9 square miles of urban forest. The system also now includes 27 recreation centers, 16 outdoor swimming pools and 13 indoor swimming pools. Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock recognizes the importance of a vibrant Parks and Recreation department in delivering a world class city where everyone matters.
