La Raza Park in Denver's Sunnyside neighborhood reopened last Friday after closing for a year for major renovations.
Zoom in: The historic park now features a new playground, basketball court, ADA-compliant pathways, lighting and expanded picnic areas.
Renovations cost roughly $2 million, funded partly through two separate bond packages, 9News reports.
Flashback: Denver City Council renamed the park in 2020 — changing it from Columbus Park — to acknowledge its deep historic ties to the neighborhood's Chicano and Mexican-American community.
