Huston Lake Park Pickleball Courts

New acoustic blocks are being installed at the Huston Lake Pickleball Courts. This marks the first use of acoustic blocks across DPR facilities, providing a key opportunity to evaluate their effectiveness in reducing noise levels and enhancing the playing environment.

Martin Luther King Jr. Park Pickleball Courts

DPR has begun initial steps towards converting the six temporary pickleball courts to permanent pickleball courts at Martin Luther King Jr. Park. In addition to the court conversion, a small seating area and updated gates to improve accessibly will be added. This project is funded by the DPR Legacy Funds.

The courts will remain open until main resurfacing starts, which is expected to begin in September and to be completed by the end of October. Please note that starting on July 24,  to accommodate the site preparation work, courts can only be accessed from the north gates. The parking lot will also be closed starting July 24, to be used for staging by the contractor, until construction concludes. 

Pickleball Planning & Advisory Group

In spring 2023, DPR invited key stakeholders to form a Pickleball Planning & Advisory Committee to collaborate on issues around this popular sport.

Snow Removal

Off-Street Bicycle Trails

Any snow accumulation on a trail greater than one inch will be plowed to the channel side (or down slope side) within 12-hours after the end of a snow fall event.  Snow that can’t be accessed by machine will be removed manually. Ice accumulation on the trail will be treated with environmentally safe chemical products.

Snow Removal on Park Property/Other Public Property
Denver Parks and Recreation performs snow removal on park property and select sidewalks, such as bridges and underpasses. Snow is also removed from recreation center locations.
