But beyond just enjoying these wonderful outdoor spaces, we wanted to help out, too. So last week, the team headed down to the banks of the Platte River (on a thankfully overcast morning) for a morning of beautifying. We gave a new coat of paint to one of the park's pavilions and planted more than a hundred plants and flowers. Leslie Knope didn't show up, but the Parks and Rec crew was still extremely cool and friendly. Want to get involved?
Volunteering with the Denver Parks & Recreation department can be at grass-root levels all the way up to formal involvement. Call (303) 698-4904 or email Tina Myers at
