As part of your registration, in order to participate in a Denver Field Ornithologists, Inc. (“DFO”) trip or other activities designated by the Board of Directors, each adult participant and the parent of a minor participant (those under 18 yrs. of age) are required to review and sign (either electronically or manually) a DFO Acknowledgment and Assumption of Risks & Release and Indemnity Agreement (sometimes “Agreement”) Completing this document involves your acceptance of binding contract terms. This online registration system allows you to review and electronically sign the Agreement if you do not have one on file. If you would prefer to manually sign a printable version of the Agreement, you may access it here, and present it to the leader before trip start. If you choose this option, please contact your leader to assure you are signed up for the trip.
Please note: Each person, including each family member choosing to sign the Agreement electronically must login and have a separate account so that the agreement is tied to the individual. If you are having difficulty with multiple logins, please contact us for assistance. *Minors: If participant is a minor, the minor’s parent or legal guardian must print out, review and sign a paper copy of the Agreement and present it to the leader before the trip start. Any minor attending must be accompanied by their parent or legal guardian.
Logged in users who have a signed Agreement on file will have the opportunity to print or save it at any time. Click on the link to the printable copy and use your browser functions to save or print.

Park Hill Park, formerly the beloved Park Hill Golf Course, opened on October 28, 2025. The delivery of this newest Denver park to the residents of the Northeast Denver neighborhoods, residents of the City and the entire metro area is extraordinary, and is the result of years of discussion regarding this open space opportunity. The 155 acre Park has, for the most part, been undisturbed since the golf course closed in 2018. Planning to create 'people park' amenities will start in 2026. As a result, in 2025, and until any construction begins, this is an urban birding opportunity that can't be ignored, initially on November 20, and to continue to discover in the future . This Park Hill Park field trip is a 'first' for DFO. Rated moderate, for currently unknown conditions. The cart paths still exist, and we will likely venture off of those paths in some cases. Dress warmly, wear long pants and good shoes, wear sunscreen, bring water and a snack, binoculars and a camera if you wish. Field trip leader will make exploratory visits before Nov. 20, and advise on any amenities that are available, or not. For background on Park Hill and the Park, articles in The Colorado Sun and The Denver Post are worth reading. https://coloradosun.com/2025/10/29/denver-park-hill-park-opening-past-controversy/
