When the construction of the Cherry Creek Dam wrapped up in 1950, the Kenwood Dam spillway was abandoned but remained intact. By the 1970s, when skateboarding was growing popular, Denver skaters began skating it illegally, and graffiti artists tagged it. But it wasn't used for much else.
is exploring the idea and plans to do a feasibility study this year, according to Black. Deputy Parks and Recreation Executive Director Scott Gilmore believes the project could run $10 million,"if you're going to do a skate park and do it right," he adds. “I would think if we would want to do something there, we would want to do it on the scale of the downtown skate park."
