City Park - Mile High Loop Plan Thursday, June 05, 2008 By don :: 127 Views Design planning is underway for the new 3.1 mile (5K) path in the park.  Billy Gregg, a consultant with Parks and Gardens, Inc. is preparing the preliminary plans based on previous planning and public input that began 2 years ago.  Denver Parks in cooperation with the City Park Alliance and East High School is planning to host a public open house to unveil the new and improved route for the trail.  You are invited to try it out by following the 3.1 mile loop which will be spray painted on the ground.  The proposed route will be painted in the park on Wednesday, June 25 so park visitors can follow the route and provide suggestions and comments for the design at the open house.  Park staff and volunteers will be in the park from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the City Park Pavilion with maps and other information about the project.  The location of the future Mile High Loop is planned to connect the 5280 contour that passes through the park in several locations.  The trail project was awarded $250,000 from Great Outdoors Colorado to construct the project this fall.      For comments or questions please contact Helen Kuykendall at : Helen.kuykendall@denvergov.org Or 720-913-0630 or City Park Alliance at:  info@cityparkalliance.org.
