Description: In 2023, Denverites voted on referendum 2O, intended to lift the city’s conservation easement on land in Northeast Park Hill that was formerly known as the Park Hill Golf Course. Westside Investment Partners had purchased the land between 35th and 40th, and Colorado and Dahlia, in 2019. Their development plan included lifting the conservation easement that restricts the property to serving as a golf course, and then constructing housing, retail spaces, and a park. The 2O referred measure was Westside’s third attempt to lift the easement, with each effort being voted down by Denver’s voters. This article examines the history of the 155-acre plot, from 1859 to 2023.

Description: In 2023, Denverites voted on Referendum 2O, intended to lift the city’s conservation easement on land in Northeast Park Hill that was formerly known as the Park Hill Golf Course. Westside Investment Partners had purchased the land between 35th and 40th, and Colorado and Dahlia, in 2019. Their development plan included lifting the conservation easement that restricts the property to use as a golf course, and then constructing housing, retail spaces, and a park. The 2O referred measure was Westside’s third attempt to lift the easement, against a community group that ran an opposition campaign. The opposition group, “Yes for Parks and Open Space,” hoped to protect the citizen-funded easement, and had hopes that the city would buy the property and build a large park. Ultimately, each of Westside’s three easement removal efforts were voted down by Denver’s voters. This article reports the final referendum results.

Description: The Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge was established in 2007, and is home to 239 migratory and resident wildlife species, including prairie falcons, deer, elk, coyotes, songbirds, the threatened Preble’s meadow jumping mouse, and rare xeric tallgrass prairie. This 5,237-acre refuge, located 16 miles northwest of Denver, has remained relatively undisturbed for the last 30- 50 years, following the closure of the Rocky Flats nuclear plant. Previously managed by the U.S. Department of Energy, the plant manufactured nuclear and non-nuclear weapons from 1952 to 1994, after which it was added to the EPA’s National Priorities List (Superfund List) in 1989. Today, the refuge is one of over 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System.

Prior to the 2O measure in 2023, a group of community members and politicians created an opposition campaign: “Yes for Parks and Open Space.” Through op-eds, yard signs, leafleting, community meetings, and this website, the Yes for Parks and Open Space group argued against lifting the easement, and for protecting the large open space in an undeveloped state.
