Denver Parks & Recreation’s Alternative Sports program introduces youth and adults to exciting, non-traditional recreational activities like skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, and more. These experiences promote outdoor adventure, physical activity, and community connection in a fresh and modern way.
Each year, our team relies on dedicated volunteers to help make it all happen—especially during our biggest seasonal project: building and maintaining a community ski/snowboard terrain park! This collaborative effort helps bring a unique and accessible winter recreation experience to Denver residents.
