Description

One of the largest parks in Denver, Washington Park (or "Wash Park" as locals call it) stretches over 165 acres in central Denver. The park was originally designed by German architect Reinhard Schuetze in the early 1900s, but has had a few renovations since then. It is a very popular park with locals because of its beautiful landscaping, multiple park features, and proximity to downtown. The park boasts a 2.6-mile jogging trail (one of the most popular in Denver), a nicely appointed recreation center, two lakes, tennis courts, playgrounds, soccer fields, and a lawn bowling green. The park also offers gorgeous landscaping, which includes 54 vibrant flowerbeds, a wide variety of shade trees, and an idyllic lily pond. Wash Park is very popular in warmer weather, and offers free evening concerts in the summertime that attract crowds of locals.
