There will come a time this summer when you’re hanging out in a park or walking around downtown, and someone with a clipboard is going to approach you about the future of the Park Hill Golf Course. They’ll talk about the need for more open space in the city or maybe they’ll allude to the Big Bad Developer coming in to change a historic neighborhood, and they’ll ask for your signature. What are you going to do?

City Cast Denver is here to help. In this first episode of a two-parter on the PHGC site (and the extremely contentious/complicated debate over its future), host Bree Davies speaks with former mayoral candidate Penfield Tate about his personal connection with the old course and his work to wrench the future of those valuable 155 acres out of the hands of developers.

Oh, and on Monday, we hear from the developers themselves who give their side of the story.
