People Make Parks Come Alive!
Envision a thriving, resilient, and sustainable Denver where everyone has access to exceptional parks.
What if Denver parks had support from the people who love them most? Great parks across the country are made when people join together as neighbors, as a community, and as a city to invest in our shared public outdoor spaces.
As the vital citywide nonprofit fundraising partner for Denver Parks and Recreation, the Denver Park Trust turns your gift into action, adding new parks where none exist and enhancing the parks we all love.
When we breathe life into parks, parks breathe life into us by supporting our health, social connections, and environment. Since our founding, the Denver Park Trust has:
- Helped bring park access to 2,300 homes
- Secured $1.5 million to invest directly into Denver parks
- Led fundraising efforts for 5 large-scale park enhancements
- Completed 348 volunteer projects to ensure our parks are vibrant and welcoming
- Selected 92% of projects in neighborhoods of greatest need, assessing both historical park investment and socioeconomic factors
Your gift makes you a park champion, joining neighbors across the city to create spaces we all share. Thank you!

Giving Activity
Mission
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.
Background Statement
The Denver Park Trust was founded in 2019 by Denver City Councilwoman Kendra Black, and Denver Parks and Recreation Advisory Board member Frank Rowe to address the urgent need for additional park space and improvements in our rapidly growing city. Designed as a fundraising partner of Denver Parks and Recreation, the main mission of the Denver Park Trust is to leverage private and public dollars to improve our park system in an equitable way. As a nonprofit fundraising organization, we allow people like you, patrons of the parks, as well as local businesses, community leaders, and Colorado businesses to actively support Denver parks.
