Pasquinel’s Landing Park: A New Way to Access the South Platte River

Over the last eight years, The Greenway Foundation has partnered with numerous public and private entities to collaboratively create a significant visioning, design, funding and, now, construction endeavor. When completed, the River Vision Implementation Plan will provide over $30 Million of new recreational, environmental, water quality and flood control improvements to five areas of Denver’s South Platte River Greenway.  

The most recent River Vision Plan transformed Pasquinel‘s Landing, a 35 year old park, into a new type of park – a hybrid of natural systems, modern recreation and neighborhood gathering spaces. The design ofPasquinel’s Landing literally brings the South Platte into the park.

  • The regional trail is pushed away from the River in a graceful arc.
  • A secondary channel carves into the bowl, creating a gravel bar island at the River’s edge.
  • A simple swath of turf rolls down toward the island, providing flexible space to recreate or just relax
  • ADA accessible trails frame the lawn and cross the secondary channel, making the island a destination that is inviting to everyone.
  •  An adult fitness zone and future natural play area round out the design on the neighborhood side of the park
