Park Projects

The Park People was founded by Mayor William McNichols and Parks' Manager Joe Ciancio, Jr. to raise private funds for improvements to Denver's extensive inventory of open spaces. Throughout our history, we have raised millions of dollars for improvements to public projects that included historical preservation, public art restoration, parks improvements and public tree planting.
