Denver judge hears case against city, district swapping land near Hentzell Park for school

A Denver judge is being asked to issue an injunction Friday morning to stop a land swap between the city and county of Denver and Denver Public Schools.

A group fighting to overturn the swap filed suit in district court to stop the pending transaction.

The Friends of Denver Parks nonprofit is trying to halt the swap of nearly 11 acres of vacant city land in southeast Denver that would become the site of a new school.
