Type and Scope of services to be performed:

Denver Parks and Recreation (Denver Parks), in partnership with the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (DOTI), will construct a regional water quality facility on a 20-acre parcel south of the existing Heron Pond. Denver Parks will seamlessly integrate the water quality basin into the larger Carpio-Sanguinette Park & Open Space redesign. The park project encompasses the entire 80-acre park area, which includes the 20-acre parcel for the water quality basin. The goal is to create a destination natural area with high quality upland and aquatic habitat, walking trails, nature overlooks, environmental education nodes, and sitting areas for bird viewing.

 

The project will result in both environmental and community benefits. Restoration of riparian communities and native upland landscapes will improve habitat and provide new opportunities for the community to learn about wildlife in an urban setting. This project expands and diversifies a regionalscale park and open space area along the South Platte River. It will connect wildlife corridors numerous wildlife and bird species while also serving an important water quality improvement function. It is the goal of this project that this multi-purpose design serves as a model for future regional water quality basins in Denver and throughout the region.
