Some news from the Denver Museum of Nature and Science:
Please stay alert, use caution, and follow signs that note temporary park closures and detours for vehicle/pedestrian/cycling traffic in the southeast corner of Denver City Park. This active construction zone is off-limits to ensure the safety of neighbors, park users, and Museum visitors. Crews are using heavy machinery to excavate 12 million gallons of dirt for construction of the Education and Collections Facility at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Semi-trucks are entering/exiting the park from 17th Avenue to assist with the removal of this dirt.
