$2 MILLION to replace the playground in City Park?!?!? Nah, no graft or corruption in this budget (and swing sets and sliding ponds cost hundreds of thousands of dollars each). Guess Hancock's cronies need their payback. A $2 Million dollar playground - frugal, smart, serious Denver.....This is probably over budgeted by five to ten-fold, and the other projects likely are too. Imagine building a playground for $2 million that doesn't include purchasing any property. Nonsense.
