Alamo Placita Park (Little Place of the Cottonwoods) has often been called Denver’s most ideal and most beautiful park. The name commemorates the many cottonwoods that grew naturally in this area. A few of the old trees can still be found in Alamo Placita Park and in the neighborhood.
The park land remained undeveloped until 1927, when landscape work finally commenced. Colorado’s premier landscape architect, Saco Reink DeBoer, designed the park. Speer hired DeBoer as Denver’s second landscape architect in 1910, a position he held until 1931. DeBoer designed parks and parkways in Denver and actively participated in city planning.
