As urban parks go, Denver City Park certainly ticks all the boxes. Located in the east of central Denver, this verdant urban oasis is equally popular with tourists and locals and is a fantastic space to explore if you have a few hours to spare.Relaxing and picturesque, this park is a pleasure to visit. Wander around the beautiful gardens, explore the hidden pathways and admire the Old West statues. Take time out on the steps of the Greek Amphitheatre before strolling down to the lake to admire the old boathouse.Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element here as the park has a great range of sports amenities including tennis courts, football fields and there is even an 18-hole golf course.This place is perfect for families. City Park has two beautiful lakes where children of all ages can splash across the water on duck-shaped paddleboats. There are also two playgrounds to keep the little ones entertained while you sit back and enjoy the wonderful views of the capital.Nearby, bijou bistros, hip cafes and trend-setting restaurants offer visitors every conceivable dining option. If you don’t fancy sitting inside, it’s good to know that the park hosts a number of gourmet-food stalls every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. Sample some of the delights al fresco as you indulge in a spot of people watching.At Ferril lake, sit back and enjoy the incandescent display of water and lights as they swirl together in a prism of colour. Wrap up a perfect day by letting the sweet sounds of City Park’s summer jazz concerts wash over you.To top it all off, this park is also home to two of the best visitor attractions in Colorado: Denver Zoo and Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Now really, what more could you ask for?
