WalkDenver's goal is to make Denver the most walkable city in the country through policy advocacy, the collection of data for walking areas, demonstrations of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure, and the participation of people like you.

Our “Tactical Urbanism” projects engage community members in envisioning and designing temporary demonstrations of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure mixed with art, culture, pop-up businesses and street life.

The Lurie Garden in Millennium Park is an urban oasis emerging from a harmonious blend of symbolism, landscape design and ecological sensitivity.

Our plant, animal, and insect life are managed using a combination of traditional gardening knowledge and forward-thinking ecological concepts.

Use of synthetic chemicals or similar substances within the garden to manage weeds, pest insects or diseases does not occur.
