If approved, six pickleball courts, a seating area, a shade canopy and a moveable storage container would be built on a vacant gravel lot at 1523 North Lincoln St., according to a concept plan submitted to Denver by consulting firm Stantec. The empty lot, next to the Regional Transportation District’s Civic Center Station in Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood, is a block west of the Colorado State Capitol. Part of the half-acre lot, a drainage area near RTD’s Colfax Avenue and Broadway bus stop, is fenced off and filled with large rocks.
