Denver Voters Choose to Keep Park Hill Golf Course as Open Space.
Denver voters rejected a proposal to redevelop the Park Hill Golf Course into affordable housing, a grocery store, and a park, with 25% of the housing being affordable or income-restricted. The conservation easement that keeps the property a golf course would have been lifted. The site is near a train station, and the loss of around 3,000 units from this golf-course conversion is a drop in the bucket, but local YIMBYs are asking: If we can’t start with an empty golf course, where can we begin to make up the housing shortage? Critics are saying this marks a new low in the war between NIMBYs and YIMBYs.
