I was here roughly a year ago for a breast cancer walk and was pleasantly surprised at the park and scenery. I have kids from infant to teen and all had a pleasant time. We came back a few weeks later just to bike around. It's really a pleasant park.

THIS is the place to people watch. Walmart is pretty amusing and the mall can be entertaining but Wash Park is a spectacular place to people watch.

They got a lake with boats and canoes for rent. They got ducks. They got bike trails. They have beautiful flowers and shade. It's a great park and plenty of space for everyone!

Park reminds me of why you visit Denver. Great place in middle of town to be outdoors. Very popular place with the locals.

You wouldn't think January in Denver would be a great time to walk but we picked a good day -- brisk, but no snow on the ground. There are lots of tracks to follow around the park and lakes. We had a picnic lunch overlooking the northern lake and watched the geese and people. Of course, the rose garden was... More

Lovely place for a walk or to soak up the sun. This is the safest park in Denver, it has two ponds, good bird life, lots of cute dogs (and people walking them :)

Sunday morning in the Wash Park (as the locals call it) was great place to ride bikes, as my wife and I did, or walk, jog, or stroll as many others did. After biking around the park a few laps we cruised the nearby side streets looking at the lovely mostly early 20th century houses. Bonus, first thing we saw... More

Great place for a run or just to get together with friends. It's motivating seeing so many people exercise. Large park and many trees to help you keep cool. Can get very busy on weekends.

I lived in this area for many years and always enjoyed taking a stroll or riding a bike ride around the park. The mature trees tower over you. There is something for everyone. A recreation center, play area, pond, tennis courts, and lawn bowling. Keep your dog on a leash! Animal control visits often.
