Wonderful place to picnic, chill and bring the dog to run around (unofficial dog park).
My son loves, loves, loves this park its too perfect for younger kids more ages 2-6 but unfortunately maintenance should definitely asap please come to fix the rocket ship bouncer/ or air plane bouncer because my son almost fel off it because its falling apart as n the ground around the part that is n the ground has been disturbed n has made it have a really bad lean looks almost as tho someone that was way to big had gotten on it bounced hard n broke it so lets hope for safety of our kids that maintenance manages to get out there n get it fixed so we can enjoy it
Beautiful park minus the very territorial squirrel that will come right up to you and try to steal all of your food from your hand or your mouth, or wherever it is. And this is no regular squirrel, this is a giant squirrel. Not a fat squirrel, but a long tailed, rude, and aggressive squirrel! We didn’t even sit down and this squirrel climbed out of the tree that you can see in the picture, that we originally sat under came right up to us and we had to move three times! and there was another couple that had moved even more than we did and they had two dogs! Eventually I used waving flip-flops in the air and loud noises and some vague chasing away to keep it from us... not my proudest moment as a vegan and animal lover. After I had asserted my dominance the squirrel finally retreated and went on to pestering a group of students with a large dog and even the dog couldn’t keep him away! I hope I don’t have to say... don’t come here with kids and a picnic! Call animal control bring the squirrel to the wilderness and he can fight off wolves.
We visited the park early and we had it all for ourselves. Its a great place for kids or dogs close to the city.
Small, but wide open park, that is dog friendly.
Quiet, pretty, nice short walk around the park. Do not go here if you dont like dogs or squirrels!
Its a quiet little park that I like to relax and clear my min
It was cool to see the dogs playing together. They get along better than humans
Simple park with some open grassy fields and gentle hills. Get some sun, rest in the shade, watch the dogs stroll by.
It used to have a gazebo and a lake. Now its bland and empty. Still a nice park for picnic plenty of parking.
Great place to run the dog!
I know why I love this place now go find out how you to can enjoy and relax at sunken gardens
Nice flat space for all kinds of activities
Great little park to hang out and walk dogs. Super clean and never too many people.
Some homeless people.... Otherwise nice park.
Just a park that Ive known since I was a little girl
Large grassy park with views of downtown and West High. Popular for dogs
It doesnt offer any attractions other than being somewhat of an oasis in a city where high density housing permits seem to be routinely rubber stamped, and where quality of life seems to be low on the list of criteria for approving the never ending flood of scrape and build projects. It is truly nice to have some low impact outdoor space that hasnt be commercialized, downsized and destroyed against the wishes of the community. If one wishes to take a break from phones, tablets, game consoles, frustration over the exploding population in town and all sorts of other stressors, it can provide the opportunity to just decompress for a while, and, maybe, have a face to face conversation with a friend. Passé, low tech, and requiring too much effort? Possibly... But, worth it.
Super chill park. Very nice
Nice, shady park kids loved it wish they had more time. We just wish the few people... who lived in the park wasnt yelling and acting crazy in front of the kids. Other than that it was good
It was nice small city park
Chill park very neat location
Quite and clean. Had a great time.
Nice park to check out if youre in the area
I live very close to this park, and it is a very decent green space for those that live in the nearby area. While it may not be super safe at night, during the day it is quite safe, clean, and filled with families. Definitely a good space for those within walking distance, though if you are willing to drive to a park, there are better choices in Denver.
WestSide is the best side
This place used to be a pool until people got infected with polio
This park is great! My boyfriend and I had a quiet picnic and just enjoyed being outdoors.
Its not really sunken and there are no gardens. Its just grass and some trees. Its a good place to walk, run or play with your dog
Great except the sprinklers are always on
Absolutely love to walk around this park with my friends dog.
Nice wide open park by the high school, only issue is being right by the road so it can get pretty loud, but otherwise a nice place to walk and relax.
Live this park for years
Always a place to reflect and collect yourself. Especially when classes get tough at West High School..
Waited for drugs here.
Cool interesting location. One way streets make parking tricky. Nice lush green grass.
Good Denver barber .
Beautiful place to hang out any time of the day. Plenty of space for kids to play.
Yoga Rocks the Park was so nice here. Karey and Matt from ONE Yoga taught - they were amazing!
Poorly kept park for sports. No bathrooms. Very poor basketball court which smells of urine constantly. Great to walk your dog, but otherwise just a place to walk through. Careful running as terrain is not flat and ankles are targeted. Pick up after your pet and dont use the basketball court as a restroom! The school is close so watch your language!
I fell in love with this place and I will post pics on my next visit
Nice park
Not a big park but a great place to take the dog for a walk. I enjoy going here in the summertime and having a cup of coffee
Good Place to visit. For me, and Lots of Good Memories
Very pretty Park. Very pretty high school.
Great little Park. I was unaware of its proximity to Speer Boulevard. Need for a nice Mothers Day walk.
Nice little park in the heart of Denver. Playground is small compared to some, but adequate.
Great place to plan protesting. Shut your GPS off before you arrive
Gorgeous, please stay home so I can enjoy more of it
Nice small and quite patch of nature and right across the street is that Cherry Creek bike trail and you can also walk down an errand its nice to see the water and stuff like that, but if youve been to some of the other parks in Denver youll know theres not the same type of crowd hanging out there if you know what I mean (honeless).
A great place for outside activities with plenty of space and secluded by the line of trees that separate it from the city on the other side of them
This park is really beautiful
Was a very nice and quiet place to be if you were going to relax.
Nice place to relax
Beautiful flower gardens and a nice relaxing atmosphere makes for a great place to take some photos. A nice spot to pass the time when near downtown Denver.
All denebr area parks deserve 5 stars
Beautiful park
Nice and clean my dogs love it.
Such a beautiful and quiet atmosphere.
Nice Park to Visit & Unwind & Rest & Have a Good lunch in Good Weather!?
In the early 1900s it used to be filled with water to swim in, but after people abused the swimming hole the city drained it. It is now a park in front of my old high school.
Great Park
Little hidden gem of a park hidden almost in the heart of downtown. Across from a high school this park had a field for football, soccer, lacrosse or whatever your sport may be. A small playground and path for walking. Very limited parking.
You won’t want to go anywhere else. Words cannot describe.
Flag football
One of my most favorite parks around! Lots of room to play sports
Just a.nice place for a walk
Yoga in the Park gathers here every summer. Beautiful place to spend a Sunday!
Good
Good spot to enjoy a nice afternoon there is a small playground and 1/2 basketball court as well.
For respite from the city. Thank goodness.
A good park if the people would Let Kids Be Kids. The Parks are for Kids. And let them Play. Not so good of a Area. Send Blessing To this Area And People, Homes, LIVES AMEN SEND BLESSING
Theres nothing here but a grass field
It was ok.. its also febuary
Cute park in downtown but could use some love. The upkeep isnt the best but my dog sure likes to chase after a frisbee here.
Very nice park
Absolutly awesome
Nice park
Its a nice open park a lot of space to play in
Very nice place to have a picnic at.
Great place for some kickball and yoga during the summer. Other than that its an okay park with not much going for it.
Free hours of fresh air
Came here for Yoga rocks the park. Such a beautiful vibe
This park could be great but there are too many homeless, quite a bit of litter, and lots of noise from Speer (although understandbly the ambulances, police, fire trucks). Lately there have been a number of events like yoga and kickball. It is NOT an off-leash park for pets, although many do it anyway as there isnt really much enforcement.
Its a park in Denver, Colorado. Of course its perfect. #kyranvarãolovethisplace
Fun park in the snow
After work with the pup - good good park for fun not during school events
Nice park with a cool history near downtown Denver.
We visited this park a couple of weeks ago with a picnic lunch and hoping it was a good place for our little one to run around and play. I dont think this park gets cleaned very often. The one picnic table that was in the shade had torn up trash around the base and there was lots of trash in the grass as well. The picnic tables are the poured concrete kind with many coats of paint layered on, and now peeling off - bring a tablecloth. I brushed my hand across the table and got a shard of dried peeling paint under my fingernail, youch! The play structure is older, which is fine, still in decent condition. We visited around 2:30 in the afternoon and there is NO shade on the play structure - the slide was searingly hot, so no play time for baby. And couldnt let her just run around in the shady grass because she would have kept picking up bits of trash. The park borders a fairly busy street, but the trees shield the park from getting too noisy. While we were there quite a few homeless people showed up, all respectful and quiet, hanging out, taking naps in the grass or reading. As we were leaving a group of people showed up with a lot of food for a public picnic. Good to see. :) The really nice thing about this park is the humongous trees. I had to take off one star for the amount of ground trash and half-hearted edging and mowing. With just a little more care this could be a great park.
Really nice despite all the homeless people.
Really love this little park. Great longboarding on streets surrounding.
Great place to hangout
Beautiful park
Ok park but a ton of traffic noise and filled with students during the school year...a few homeless as well
Yoga in the park has been awesome
