This 30-acre park in West Denver is ideal for this new regional attraction because communities surrounding Paco Sanchez Park are historically underserved in access to parkland and recreation amenities. The improvements also bring access to play and healthy activities greatly needed in this community. Connections to the West Line Light Rail station at Knox Court and the Lakewood Gulch trail provide regional accessibility.
This project goes beyond play and also focuses on activity and programming with the goal to engage children and families for a lifetime of physical fitness and activity.The 9-million-dollar project received partial funding from the Colorado Health Foundation.
