Our new branch has found its feet in the States
This 30-acre park in West Denver is ideal for this new regional attraction because communities surrounding Paco Sanchez Park are historically underserved in access to parkland and recreation amenities. The improvements also bring access to play and healthy activities greatly needed in this community. Community input identified the desire to honor the park’s namesake, Paco Sanchez. Sanchez launched the first Spanish language radio station in Denver in 1954, going on to become a beloved civic leader and State Representative. His love of music and connection to the community as a DJ inspired the design team to identify broadcasting as the primary theme. The spirit of the park promotes the rich Hispanic legacy of the community through the use of color and form. Public art and one-of-a-kind play elements provide Paco Sanchez Park a strong sense of place.
