Stapleton was once the name of Denver´s municipal airport. Today, the airport is gone and has been replaced by what is being called “New Urbanism” of this master-planned community popular with residents and Realtors alike. As a result, this is a blend of residential properties with shopping, arts, culture, and sprawling parks.
Stapleton Neighborhood is now “Central Park”
Now, what was called Stapleton community has a new name. Residents voted to change the name in 2020 to Central Park. Because, the former Denver Mayor Benjamin Stapleton was also a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
In fact, 30% of the land mass at Central Park is dedicated to current and future public parks. For instance, the developer provided a master arts plan for the original Stapleton neighborhood It called for the development of participatory, interactive art, as well as traditional art displays. Now called the Central Park, there are 9 neighborhoods, 9 schools, and at least 50 parks, shopping and business districts, and even a new visitor center. In 2016, the old Stapleton officially connected to the Denver metro area by RTD’s A line, a commuter rail service.
