Let’s Sell Some Stuff!!
With more than 30,000 residents and over 15,000 homes in our Central Park neighborhood, this is one of Denver’s largest community garage sales! We will be hosting a fun, interactive community garage to help us all clear out our homes for the summer season.
The sale will be 2 days long and will be split into two sections: the North End (north of I-70) and the South end (south of I-70). Central Park is over 5 miles wide, and having 2 large areas within the community allows for more customers and will help increase sales for everyone. This will bring more people to the neighborhood looking to shop!
There will also be a dumpster and a donation truck on Sunday from 2:00-5:00 p.m. – all participants will be emailed the location.
