What It Is

The Park Hill Bike Depot is a non-profit, community-based project which aims to equitably increase active living opportunities that contribute to the overall improvement of individual and community health. Residents of Park Hill and surrounding neighborhoods can earn a used bike, become skilled at repairing bikes, take a bike safety class, or participate in a variety of wellness programs.

Park Hill Thriving Communities, a LiveWell Colorado initiative, partnered with Recycle Bicycles, the Denver City Bike Planner, local business representatives, Denver Parks and Recreation, and Park Hill residents to build and staff the Park Hill Bike Depot.
