Future improvements are coming to Sunken Gardens Park! Denver Parks & Recreation is leading the master plan and implementation process, which seeks to improve the Sunken Gardens Park visitor experience in a way that respects the historical context, period features, and landscape character, while accommodating changing use patterns and programming needs of the community.
The Sunken Gardens Master Plan was completed in August 2021, which outlines Phase 1 improvements, such as an enhanced Central Lawn, repaved and widened walkways for better access, and the addition of a dog park. It also includes long-term projects such as a nature play and historic water course, cultural community center, and a pavilion terrace.
