Ruby Hill Rail Yard is made possible by Winter Park Resort, Denver Parks and Recreation, Christy Sports, TechnoAlpin, Denver Water, Choose Outdoors, The North Face, Wahoo's Fish Tacos, Snowboard Outreach Society (SOS), and over 30 volunteers.
[1] Ruby Hill Rail Yard opened in January 2007 and was the USA's first free terrain park in a downtown area.
Ruby Hill Park holds a high bluff that provides a wide view over Denver’s skyline, and which was used previously as a lookout by Native Americans.
There are also occasional events and contests that are held to promote Ruby Hill, such as youth programs run by Denver Parks and Recreation.
[7] In a warm December in 2010, Ruby Hill was closed but it opened for the 2011 season through the months of January and February, as weather permits.
The terrain park is free, open to the public, and is popular among skiers, snowboarders and people on sleds and inner tubes.
