We have lived in Denver for decades and have passed the park but never stopped. We stopped today. It is well worth visiting. Babi Yar Park is a Colorado Holocaust Memorial in southeast Denver. The park is laid out in a Star of David format, with memorials and paths throughout. Very peaceful place. Its purpose is to remember the many Jews that died during the holocaust and to never forget what happened to them. We will be back as it is also a wonderful place to walk!

Always an emotional and uplifting experience. I go there frequently and also attend the anniverary even in late September every year. The fountain in the Grove of Remembrance is a special place for me. Hopefully, the City of Denver will keep it running.

I love that I can wàlk there with my dog. Excellent learning experience for everyone. Jus wish is was fence d in for odf lease dog walking.

This park is best described by The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) on their website, which I quote below. We actually watched the park being built in 1982 and this was our first time back since then. The park is intricately laid out, the landscaping beautiful (especially late spring to early fall), and the memorials are very moving. Unfortunately for us, we arrived at sunset and felt somewhat rushed, and neither darkness nor haste will do this park full justice. While a casual walk through this park is a worthwhile experience, I highly recommend reading up on the Babi Yar massacre (and the park itself) before visiting to truly experience what the park has to tell us. The TCLF description follows. Completed in 1982, this 27-acre memorial park was designed by Lawrence Halprin and Satoru Nishita to commemorate the victims of the 1941-1943 Nazi massacre of Ukrainian Jews and others in Kiev. The memorial is laid out around a centralized pathway configured as a Star of David, with three distinct architectural features – an amphitheater, a grove, and a ravine. The park is entered through a narrow passage between two inscribed, rough-hewn, black granite monoliths. A path ascends a berm planted with cottonwood and willow, before descending into a bowl-shaped amphitheater known as People’s Place, which has a circular platform at its center. The Grove of Remembrance consists of 100 lindens planted in a grid, representing the 200,000 people killed at Babi Yar. In the center of the grove, water flows from an irregularly-shaped, black granite disc. A ravine, reminiscent of the location where victims were buried in Kiev, runs along the western edge of the site. It is crossed by a narrow bridge with high, black wooden walls, which evoke the train cars used by Nazis to transport prisoners. Each end of the bridge is flanked with granite monoliths, polished to highly reflective surfaces. The edges of the site are planted as a prairie, with native grasses, yucca, and prickly pear.
