This vote is in!
On November 8, Denver City Council's Land Use, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee voted 5-2 to send the proposal for developing the Park Hill Golf Course on to the full council for consideration. The final vote by council will be December 5. Councilmembers Paul Kashmann and Candi CdeBaca were the"no" votes.
In operation since the 1930s, the golf course saw its last golfers tee off in 2018. It then shuttered while the City of Denver began traversing through the property during its Platte to Park Hill stormwater detention project., the developer also overseeing the Loretto Heights campus redevelopment, purchased the Park Hill Golf Course for $24 million.
The two sides — Westside and the City of Denver versus Save Open Space Denver — began to spar over what was actually allowed by the conservation easement. Westside and the City Attorney's Office said the conservation easement only allowed a primary use as a golf course, so even turning the land into a park would require a lifting of the easement.
In November 2021, voters passed the SOS Denver measure and rejected the Westside-funded measure. That sent Westside back to the drawing board, and guaranteed that the voters of Denver have a voice in the ultimate use of the Park Hill Golf Course.Over the past year, the Westside plan has morphed. The latest proposal still calls for a mix of residential, retail and open space on the property, and 25 percent of the housing would be affordable.
