We are asking Denver to turn Mile High Stadium and its surrounding parking lots into Mile High Park once the Broncos move.
This is a chance to make sure this important piece of land stays public and becomes a place for people, not just another site for more concrete.
So many people in our city carry memories from this footprint — the Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets, and Avs, a life changing concert, Barack Obama's acceptance speech, and more, along with the eras of McNichols Arena and the two Mile High Stadiums. Families, kids, and neighbors should be able to play sports, walk, rest, and enjoy the outdoors in a place that already means so much to Denver. A park here would honor those memories while giving the community something lasting and useful for the future.
Denver is already growing fast, with new development coming at River Mile next to Ball Arena, Burnham Yard, Santa Fe Yards, 16th St redevelopment, RiNo continuing to expand, and more. We welcome thoughtful growth, but we also need more open space for people to enjoy. According to the Denver Park Trust, Denver is projected to have a 3,800 park land deficit over the next decade, and the neighborhood where Empower Field at Mile High Stadium sits, Sun Valley, has some of the worst open space deficits in the city.
Mile High Park can also help elevate the historic and cultural contributions of Indigenous and Hispanic/Latino people to the South Platte River corridor. Like what has been suggested at Burnham Yards, this park could also become “a living, breathing memorial to the people who were here first.”
We urge decision-makers to plan now for Mile High Park and keep this land public, green, and rooted in community.

I live on 23rd and Federal and given the urban density of our neighborhood, including children and dogs, we're prime for more third spaces by way of parks and green space.
We need this for the community! It would open a large area for dogs and people of all ages. We need make being outdoors fun and free again!
A separate dog park would allow freedom for pets and owners to roam freely, gather as neighbors and build a strong community.
Denver needs more open spaces and parks
Would be great for the city
We need more green space in this area.
Green space is cool

We can not handle more population in this neighborhood. A park such a as this would be perfect. No more residential, please!
