Babi Yar Memorial Park in Denver, CO is a 27-acre designed landscape that serves as a commemorative site for the victims of the Nazi massacre of Ukrainian Jews and others in Kiev from 1941-1943. Designed by Lawrence Halprin and Satoru Nishita, the park features a centralized pathway in the shape of a Star of David, with architectural elements including an amphitheater, a grove, and a ravine. The park underwent renovations in 2011, including prairie restoration and the addition of stone terraces and a sculptural element.

Surrounded by native grasses and plantings, Babi Yar Memorial Park provides a solemn and reflective space for visitors to pay tribute to the lives lost during the Holocaust. The park's design elements, such as the black granite monoliths, the Grove of Remembrance with its flowing water feature, and the bridge evoking the train cars used by Nazis, contribute to the park's powerful and poignant atmosphere.
