Homeless camp cleanup underway at Lincoln Park near Colorado Capitol

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado State Patrol, along with the Denver Police Homeless Unit, are working to clean up the homeless encampments at Lincoln Park, which is located next to the Colorado State Capitol.

CSP said it is working with the Denver homeless outreach team to clear out people who are experiencing homelessness in the park.

People who had been staying in the park can voluntarily move out of the park. Some people will be bused out and given options.

The park is being cleaned to alleviate health concerns, rat problems, drug use, damage to the park and additional COVID-19 concerns.
