It takes all of us to create vibrant and accessible parks.
The Denver Park Trust is the philanthropic partner for Denver Parks and Recreation, mobilizing support to fund projects that ensure every resident has a place to gather, play, and enjoy nature.
Envision a thriving, resilient, and sustainable Denver where everyone has access to exceptional parks.
While Denver is known for our unique outdoor culture, resources for parks often fall short of the costs needed to keep our urban parks well-maintained, up-to-date, and thriving. Your donations to the Denver Park Trust help add new parks and support park enhancements to ensure every Denver resident has access to vibrant, safe, and welcoming parks.

Why support parks?
Parks Benefit Our Health
- Vibrant and accessible parks provide recreational opportunities that promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness for all. The Denver Park Trust helps create dynamic outdoor spaces where neighbors can thrive through authentic connection, engage in shared activities and cultivate a sense of belonging.
Parks Enrich Our Communities
- A community’s history, culture, and dreams can come alive in its parks. By prioritizing the neighborhoods in greatest need of park investment, the Denver Park Trust ensures that every community can enjoy quality green spaces and recreational opportunities.
Parks Strengthen Our City
- Parks contribute to the dynamic outdoor culture that sets Denver apart, providing urban access to nature and adventure that attracts people to live, work, and invest in the city. The Denver Park Trust strengthens the City of Denver through vibrant parks that nurture public health, advance environmental resilience, and foster social ties across all communities.
