Parkfield Lake Park in Denver, Co is an 82-acre urban park that offers a wide range of passive and active recreational opportunities. The project was developed in response to a growing demand for public green space in a densely populated northeast Denver neighborhood.
A third phase of the project is nearing completion and includes one of Denver’s largest artificial turf sports facilities, a lighted football stadium, soccer fields and two multi-use field venues. Other amenities include a regional playground, splash play area, dog park and several multi-functional gathering spaces including an overlook and amphitheater at the edge of Parkfield Lake.
In addition to the extensive array of passive and active recreation features, Parkfield Lake Park serves as a cultural hub for the community. The park development preserves and enhances the best of the precious natural areas including the lake, shore-line and walking trails, while also showcasing exciting new features for structured sports, casual use and uniquely, making the park a sure destination for many across northeast Denver.
The park development was designed with an emphasis on a natural, sustainable approach to development. The project incorporated site runoff management to sustain a naturally irrigated corridor while providing water quality treatment and detention for stormwater.
It also features a mix of natural materials and landforms to illustrate the complex processes occurring within the site. It includes a playground and water feature inspired by the site’s sand dune geomorphology that was designed to stimulate interest through play.
The Parkfield Lake Park project is part of the Gateway – Green Valley Ranch community, which is a collection of single-family homes, condos, townhomes and apartment complexes located between Montebello and Green Valley Ranch. The neighborhood is ideally located near the 16th Street Mall and Union Station, offering easy access to downtown Denver and the top employers in the city. It is a great place to raise a family, retire or start your own business. It is also just a short drive to Denver International Airport and Denver’s vibrant shopping, entertainment and dining scene.
