This platform is an end-to-end encrypted email notification system that keeps subscribers informed when bands perform live at Denver Skatepark. Notifications are sent weeks in advance, with an additional reminder four hours before each event begins.

After subscribing, if you don't see our confirmation email in your inbox, please check your Spam or Junk folder. If it's not there, contact us and we'll help you get set up.

Notifications are solely for event announcements. No third-party links, advertisers, or solicitations. You may unsubscribe at any time. By subscribing, you commit to attending. Bring your friends and share whatever talent you have.

Here's how it works:

1. Casual meetups are welcome. Come skate, play music, or just hang out with friends. No permit is needed for small, informal gatherings.
2. Organized events need a permit. If you plan a big crowd, set up a stage, sell items, or advertise publicly, the city requires a permit.
3. The park is big. Hundreds of people could fit, but most casual gatherings go on without any issues.
4. Be safe and respectful. Keep paths clear, respect others, and enjoy the park responsibly.

Bring your friends, share your talent, and be part of the community scene!

There are organized groups that infiltrate movements to disrupt and destroy the unity of the scenes they target. They come in all ages, sizes, colors, and styles of dress, and they dig deep into the culture to bring it down. They targeted Pirate Radio Denver in 2025, and they are certain to renew their efforts in 2026. RESIST!

They study the language, adopt the aesthetics, and mirror the values of the communities they intend to fracture. At first, they seem committed, often more vocal and more extreme than longtime members. But their goal is not growth or solidarity. It is distortion. They amplify internal disagreements and frame nuance as betrayal. They push rhetoric toward the outer edges until cooperation becomes impossible.

These groups thrive on mistrust. They suggest that leadership is corrupt, that allies are secret enemies, and that compromise is weakness. They encourage purity tests and public call-outs, knowing that constant internal policing exhausts people and erodes morale. Over time, energy that once fueled creativity, reform, or resistance is redirected inward and consumed by suspicion and infighting.

In some cases, the strategy resembles historic tactics such as COINTELPRO (FBI Counter Intelligence Program), where infiltration and psychological disruption were used to destabilize activist groups. While contexts differ, the underlying method remains familiar. Divide, disorient, and dismantle from within.

The most effective defense against such tactics is transparency, critical thinking, and a culture strong enough to withstand disagreement without collapsing into hostility. Unity does not mean uniformity. It means resilience. When communities prioritize open dialogue, shared principles, and accountable leadership, they become far harder to fracture, no matter who attempts to blend in.

Pirate radio has always been targeted by powerful forces, both locally and nationally. We do not exist to support power structures. We exist to break them down. As a result, we are constantly on the run.

Hostility is our number one threat. When we detect hostility, we understand we have been found and we must dip out, only to return after we have a clear understanding of who the invaders are. Surveillance, signal tracing, intimidation, and infiltration are not new tactics. They are part of the landscape when you operate outside sanctioned systems.

But retreat does not mean surrender. It means recalibration. We return with a stronger voice than we started with. We study the processes used against us, strengthen our networks, tighten our circles, and refine our signal paths. We reverse the pressure by becoming more disciplined, more unified, and more deliberate in how we move.

Pirate radio survives because it adapts. It exists in the gaps between regulations and in the spaces communities carve out for themselves. As long as there are stories that power structures refuse to amplify, there will be transmitters humming in the background, waiting for the right moment to broadcast again.

Welcome to the Lost & Found for Denver Skatepark and Commons Park. This is the place to post or look for items that have gone missing, whether it is a skateboard, phone, or jacket. Our goal is to help the community get their belongings back quickly and safely.

Please note: only items lost within the past 7 days can be listed. This helps the community return things while they are still easy to claim. Items that are found will remain listed for 14 days. Only you can share your contact details. When meeting to return items, always meet in a public space and consider bringing a friend with you.

If you post, check your inbox, including Spam or Junk folders, for a message from Pirate Radio Denver to confirm that you are able to receive messages from this domain.

The D-Park Calendar is used to help community members wanting to utilize the park for gatherings, such as free outdoor concerts and skating contests. Commercial and donor solicitation is strictly forbidden.

To keep the calendar safe and conflict free, only activities that have a flyer posted at D-Park, or on the light poles along Little Raven Street, are published. Participants must check all flyers at the park before making any announcements. This ensures there are no conflicts in scheduling, and keep the calendar fair and open to everyone.

The following are the steps involved in posting to the calendar:

• The calendar cannot be used to post events that have a permit.
• No solicitation. It is a violation of city ordinance to use the park for solicitation without a permit. This includes nonprofit fund raising, barter, and trade.
• All disputes must be handled by the parties involved. The D-Park Calendar will not become a party to any dispute. Unresolved disputes will result in their post being removed from the calendar without exception.
• Pirate Radio Denver, and the D-Park Calendar, are not booking agents. We have no say in what goes on at the park. Our role is simply to spread awareness related to the happenings at the part and nothing more.
• All scheduling is handled by the parties involved. Pirate Radio Denver will not participate in any scheduling activities, other than to make announcements related to the flyers that posted at the park.

Prior posting an event on the calendar, the requesting party must first visit the park to check all flyers that posted at the park and along Little Raven Street adjacent to Commons Park. The calendar only accepts posts related to large gatherings, such as free community concerts announced by local bands. Each band must be local, and cannot belong to any major record label or managed by a booking agent. In other words, they must be independent.

Please keep the park open, safe, and clean for all. Pirate Radio Denver will shut down its community calendar if any event it announces result in damage to the park, or the presence of law enforcement at the park outside of the norm.
