DENVER — After three rounds of voting on a new name for Denver's Stapleton neighborhood, the winning name has been announced: Central Park.

What was Stapleton renamed to?

DENVER (KDVR) — Leaders in northeast Denver's Stapleton neighborhood announced its new name Saturday morning: Central Park. In June, the Stapleton Master Community Association voted unanimously to change the name following the in-custody death of George Floyd and the growing Black Lives Matter movement.

Why did Stapleton change to Central Park?

The Denver City Council finally cast Stapleton into the dustbin of history on Monday, rebranding the northeast neighborhood area as Central Park as a means of distancing it from a former mayor who was a Ku Klux Klan member.
