Gov. Jared Polis’ office on Thursday released the first images of a proposed pedestrian walkway connecting the Capitol complex and Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park in Denver, a project billed as a celebration of Colorado’s 150th birthday in 2026.
The first phase of the Colorado 150 Pedestrian Walkway will span 11,000 square feet as it winds from the Capitol building, over Lincoln Street and through the park.
“Now, when Coloradans of all ages come to visit our State Capitol, they can more easily access and enjoy Lincoln Veterans Park while enjoying and learning from art from local artists,” Polis said in a statement.

The design was inspired by Colorado’s topography, specifically the state’s flowing rivers, Polis’ office said Thursday. The walkway will include regional materials like sandstone, marble and granite and have features such as viewing platforms, sculptures, artwork from Colorado artists and learning, storytelling and play elements. The walkway is set to be finished by summer 2026.
A second phase of the project will expand the walkway from Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park to Civic Center Park with a bridge over Broadway, though state officials have not said when that phase is expected to begin.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
