Density and parks are not mutually exclusive.  Lack of planning and programs to secure parks now puts Denver in catch up mode.  Parks do not have to all be large like Wash. Park or City Park.  Small neighborhood parks such as in Hilltop work.  Even small parks right within the city are a wonderful oasis - walk down many streets in NYC where they have "vest pocket" parks. -The footprint of one small narrow building lot and filled with folks enjoying an outdoor lunch.  Denver could require all development to set aside a small % of $ or agreed contributed land to secure park space.  That way the developer that is profiting is also contributing to the long term viability and attractiveness of the city.  Also, let's start securing GOCO funds.
