Confluence Park is Denver’s most notable cultural, historic and natural resource in the downtown area.  Over 150 years ago with the discovery of gold, the city was founded at this location where the South Platte River and Cherry Creek converge in the Central Platte Valley.  The face of the confluence has changed considerably over time as adjacent land uses changed from the original mining settlements to industrial dumpsites.  In 1974, the City County of Denver and The Greenway Foundation formed a valuable public-private partnership to reclaim the South Platte River from a place of abuse and abandonment to a recreational and environmental amenity.  The area now known as Confluence Park was the first and highest priority of the partnership to reclaim and revitalize it as a vibrant and inspiring place for Denver and its citizens.  The park is the heart of an extensive 850-mile bike trail network throughout the Denver metropolitan area; and is surrounded by regional attractions, such as the REI Flagship store, Platte River Trolley, Elitch Gardens and the Downtown Aquarium.  The park’s points provide many opportunities for people to enjoy summer concerts, picnic, relax on the “beach” and experience the best whitewater kayaking course along the South Platte River.

Since the dedication in September 1975, Confluence Park has evolved with a number of additional improvements and enhancements, the latest of which will be the reconstruction of Shoemaker Plaza and the South Platte River Trail access.

Genesee Park Improvement Plan

The purpose of this plan is to define appropriate uses for these properties, which will be based on a natural resource and facilities assessment, interviews with stakeholders and other efforts to understand visitor needs. The result will be an integrated trails and park improvements plan, which will include sustainable strategies for long term management of natural resources and visitor use.

The plan is intended to create an overall vision for the future of recreation and preservation for the Genesee Park and Katherine L. Craig Tract properties. Furthermore, this plan will identify standards, prioritize projects, and refine strategies for implementing and monitoring this vision.

A commitment to te South Platte River's future made by Mayor Wellington Web in the early 1990s led to the creation of the Mayor's SOuth Platte RIver Commission in 1995. The work of the Commission and city staff resulted in hundreds of new acres of new and improved park lands, major improvements to the historic greenway trail system, enhanced wildlife habitat along the river and numerous in-stream improvements designed to make the river healthier and more friendly to recreational users.
