Sun Valley Riverfront Park Breaks Ground
Sun Valley Riverfront Park has officially broken ground in Denver, marking another milestone in the transformation of the Sun Valley neighborhood. The first phase encompasses more than five acres and is anticipated to be completed in late 2027. The park is envisioned as a community-focused recreational space that supports the broader revitalization of the South Platte River, providing green space, gathering areas, and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.
The park is an important component of the Denver Housing Authority’s comprehensive redevelopment of Sun Valley, which has focused on mixed-income housing as well as amenities, infrastructure, and public spaces that contribute to the neighborhood. Plans highlighted in the article include biking and walking trails, playground equipment, gardens, a dog park, and a cultural plaza, while also improving access to the South Platte River. Swinerton is serving as a construction partner on the project.
“Sun Valley Riverfront Park represents the type of project that leaves a lasting impact far beyond construction. We’re honored to partner with the Denver Housing Authority, Denver Parks and Recreation, and the broader project team to help create a welcoming destination that connects people to the river, provides new recreational opportunities, and enhances quality of life for the community. We look forward to helping bring this vision to life for generations to come.” said Scott Vion, Swinerton Project Executive.
