Friends Of Denver Parks To Hold Major Fundraiser Saturday, October 26 At Crystal Rose

by Rebecca Allen

Friends of Denver Parks (Friends) is continuing its battle to preserve open space against the Hancock administration and Denver Public Schools (DPS) and is holding a critical fundraiser at the Crystal Rose on Saturday, October 26 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. with tickets going on sale for $100 each. Crystal Rose is located at 9755 East Hampden Avenue.

The grassroots group has surprised insiders by its staying power and continued growth against some of the most powerful groups in Denver. It has brought a lawsuit against Denver and DPS to prevent the destruction of a key portion of Hentzell Park referred to Hampden Heights Park North.

The group lost a request for a preliminary injunction before Judge Herbert Stern in June which is now on appeal up to the Colorado Court of Appeals. The trial on a permanent injunction against the destruction of the open space is scheduled for May 19, 2014.

Friends of Denver Parks requests injunction from Colorado Court of Appeals

Posted on October 7, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Dear Friends,

 On Friday October 4, Friends of Denver Parks filed a written motion asking the Colorado Court of Appeals to grant an injunction to prevent the destruction of Hampden Heights North Park while the Court of Appeals reviews the merits of the appeal.  A copy of the Motion for Injunction Pending Appeal is attached.

 The motion was accompanied by 18 media articles, many authored by recipients of this email, as Appendices to show the Court of Appeals the level of public interest in this issue. 

 On Thursday October 3 Friends filed its opening brief.  A copy of the brief is attached also.

 Based on the attached briefs, do you think that the plaintiffs have a good enough argument to convince the court of appeals to allow the people to vote on this issue?

 Thank you for your interest in this important public issue.  Please contact John Case at 303-667-7407 if you have questions.

 John Case
