Denver Parks and Recreation announces a Town Hall Meeting on June 15, 2006, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Denver Convention Center located at 700 14th Street to hear Daniel Libeskind’s conceptual ideas for Civic Center Park.

The meeting, open to the general public, is intended to offer you an opportunity to hear first hand the ideas being considered for Civic Center. The Civic Center Conservancy, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving Civic Center park, has brought Daniel Libeskind to Denver to develop ideas and design concepts for Civic Center. This will be an extraordinary opportunity to participate in a dialog with the architect, representatives from Denver Parks and Recreation and the Civic Center Conservancy.
