Located at the crossroads of government, culture, commerce and community, Denver's Civic Center Park is a historic 12-acre urban oasis with a spectacular architectural backdrop that serves as the region's premier public gathering space.
Park conservancies are an outgrowth of private citizens wanting to do more for public spaces than government can do on its own. Gaining steam across the U.S. over the past three decades, conservancies of varying sizes and models have been established out of concern for parks that government entities had neither the capacity nor the resources to maintain, program or enhance adequately. Conservancies are private, non-profit, park-benefit organizations that partner with government but raise money independently to invest in parks under action plans mutually agreed upon with their government partners. Key examples include the Central Park Conservancy, the Battery Park Conservancy and the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy.
Founded in 2004, the Civic Center Conservancy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping the City of Denver restore, enhance and activate Civic Center Park.
To accomplish these goals, the Civic Center Conservancy's efforts focus around events and programming to activate Civic Center; public awareness and engagement; advocacy on design, connectivity and infrastructure issues; and fundraising for capital improvements, activities and initiatives to support and revitalize the park. The Conservancy has a formal cooperative agreement with the City and County of Denver designating it as the official fundraising vehicle for Civic Center Park.
