The majority of drawings and maps stored in the large plan case file folders are organized chronologically within each park so that the process of development at each park or site can be readily ascertained. Within these categories, plans are organized alphabetically by park or site name. Due to the volume of drawings, the plans are organized within four broad categories: the Denver Parks System as a whole, the Denver Mountain Parks, the Denver City Parks, and the Denver Parkways. The plans for the parks also arrived from different offices usually prearranged by a specific project such as the construction of a recreation center, playground or landscaping project. Records (including correspondence, park profile sheets, and miscellaneous notes) in file folders are not necessarily arranged in chronological order. Whenever possible, the original order was maintained for groups of material donated by a specific office. Within these categories, materials are arranged alphabetically by park or site name. The documents are organized within three broad categories: the Denver Parks System as a whole, the Denver Mountain Parks and the Denver City Parks. Because of this, an artificial order was established for the collection. The bulk of the collection consists of design drawings, site development plans, master plans and maps.ĭue to the fact that the documents and drawings were received from numerous offices within the Denver Parks and Recreation Department, the Public Works Department and from various park stations or offices, the collection did arrive in original order. Oversize materials include requisition and warrant registers, herbarium sample books, and development plans. More specifically the collection includes improvement and redevelopment plans reports on park facilities, history and use planting and greenhouse records survey books financial, legal and personnel documents related to either the overall system or to specific parks. The collection also contains numerous plans from the 1960s through the 2000s, which document the continuing development of the park system and the redevelopment of existing parks. Plans for the Red Rocks Amphitheater designed by Burnham Hoyt and the structures in City Park and Civic Center Park designed by Fisher and Fisher are included. Significant, yet not as complete, are the many site development plans for playgrounds and park recreational facilities in the city parks created mostly by Saco R. Also of special note are the early parks drawings by the Olmsted brothers and Reinhard Schuetze, and the large number of mountain parks design drawings, master plans, and maps created during the Civilian Conservation Corps era (roughly 1935-1945). Of particular interest are the correspondence, general records and limited drawings related to the period from the 1890s-1910s, the founding era of Denver’s city parks. This collection of records, drawings, maps, financial books and survey materials provides information on the general park operations, the park systems, the parkways, and specific city and mountain parks.
