Denver Public School’s Guidelines for Public Use of High School Facilities, including Athletic Facilities.
Thanks to the taxpayers of Denver and the successful passage of our Bond Programs, many fields, courts, and tracks have been refurbished or newly constructed throughout the District. It is our intent to provide a quality environment that meets the needs of our students and their programs but to also make these outdoor facilities available for community use whenever practical.
To ensure the safety of students and staff, availability for school use and protection of the asset, public use will be accommodated on weekdays and Saturdays whenever the facility is not being utilized by the given high school. Community cooperation and support are appreciated and encouraged in maintaining these valuable assets and keeping our students safe.
The following information provides guidelines for public use and access:
Please contact the DPS Community Use office for more information on use of these facilities or for information on how to obtain a facility use permit.
After-hour concerns or conflicts are to be directed to DPS Security at 720-424-1901 and during school hours to the Service Coordination Center at 720-423-4020
Feel free to check availability via the facilities calendar prior to requesting space.
Sites normally open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m. depending on sunset (daylight hours).
Public use is not available when facilities are being used by school programs and their students, by special events where a permit has been obtained, and on holidays – unless a permit has been obtained. Violators will be asked to leave if on site during any of these times.

Depending on school use and permits which restrict availability, sites are open for public use from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. (or 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. – according to the Facility Manager schedule at the school site).
Sites will be closed unless use permit granted.
