Tent City Proposal for Vanderbilt Park

Mar 12, 2004

Have you been following the news about a proposal to build a tent city to shelter 200 (or more!) self-governing homeless people? The list of proposed sites has been narrowed from four to two; remaining on the possible sites list is Vanderbilt Park, located in the SE corner of our neighborhood, at S. Huron and W. Tennessee.

Vanderbilt Park is one of Denver?¹s many hidden gems; with baseball fields and a small lake that serve to buffer an abutting trailer park and a bustling industrial area from Santa Fe.

Please, follow this story in the news and make your opinions known to City Council and the Mayor should this proposal gain momentum.
