| Title: | South Platte River Greenway |
| Short Title: | South Platte River |
| Overview: | The South Platte River Greenway encompasses 10.5 miles of the South Platte River in Denver, CO. Before the establishment of the Platte River Development Committee in 1974, the river was seriously polluted and unfit for recreational use. Since then, the River and its banks have been fully reclaimed and opened to recreational and mixed-use development, including open space, community parks, biking, jogging, boating and wildlife habitat, as well as residential, commercial, and entertainment venues, such as sport arenas, museums, an amusement park, and a mega sporting goods store. |
