Park Naming Committee

The Park Naming Committee needs your help to vote on a name for the new park at 47th & Telluride! The committee is leading up the naming process with support from Denver Parks & Recreation (DPR). The goal of this committee is to help find the best name for the park based on community feedback and the guidelines from DPR's Park Naming Policy(PDF, 377KB). The committee is made up of volunteers selected from the neighborhood, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, and Council District 11.

Survey #2 | Closes January 2025

Thanks to some great ideas that came in from the first survey, the committee has narrowed down the choices. Some name ideas may have been eliminated only if they did not fit the current park landscape or another name listed here aligned with the same concept. One vote per person.

Take the survey!
