How I love you Cheesman! You are great for people watching, laying out and getting a tan, or just going for a jog. I love to come here and just chill for the afternoon, and sneaking in a bottle of wine and some cheese to go with it! Woohoo! read more

I'm not a huge fan of Cheesman Park. It definitely has an interesting history and I really like sitting by the fountains on a nice day, but I find the rest of the park to be..... boring. No ponds to run around, no particularly stunning landscaping, just...Grass. There's a lot of grass here. And not a lot of bathrooms. Unless you're a dog. read more

This is my favorite park in Denver! It's great for people watching, it's wide open, there is a little sidewalk trail through the park and the the best part of all- NO GOOSE POOP! Its a nice place to plop down with a blanket, some snacks and a few adults bevs (no glass). I'll definitely be here pretty frequently this summer. read more

I absolutely love Cheesman Park! I am really suprised by some of the negative reviews, but my guess is that they are by people who don't frequent it often or if at all. Cheesman definitely has a reputation; one that I don't think is deserving. I have lived within blocks of Cheesman for 6 years and have never felt unsafe while at the park and 90% of the time I am there, I am alone. I love that it doesn't get the huge (annoying) crowds such as Wash Park. Wash Park does have a lake, but I think the views are better at Cheesman. To each their own, but I truly love this park! read more

My favorite park and pretty sure it's my dog's favorite too. Quiet and scenic trail for us to run, as well as amazingly poo free grass to play on. If you like yoga, you should try the outdoor classes they have here. Given it's spooky history and its reputation for hook ups I wouldn't go at night, but am only looking to enjoy sunshine here anyways. read more

One of my MOST FAVORITE parks in Denver. Enjoy its wide open spaces and great huge lawn to relax, catch some rays (4/4) and read a book. On a clear day...breathtaking views of the mountains. read more

I love this park for walking my dog in the afternoons. But, in the mornings, what is with the MUD everywhere on the jogging trail?! I mean, there are tons of puddles, STREAMS of water and there isn't enough gravel on the trail. The culprit seems it to be rain, but the sprinkling system that for some reason is more intent on watering the actual trail itself than the grass. I hate getting all muddy and my dog getting muddy as well. read more

A beautiful park that is well landscaped and maintained. Take 8th street down from Colorado Blvd, and come back on 6th. Many one way streets and you will get lost. Going there follow the signs to the Botanical garden. Trader Joe's is your landmark on Colorado Blvd across the street from 8th where you turn west to find this park. If you miss 6th coming back, take 14th going east to Colorado Blvd. Not much parking. Focus on the fountain for drop off and pickup. read more

Love this park! It's never too crowded. Always parking. Perfect for a picnic, dog walk, frisbee, volleyball, soccer, or just laying out catching some rays or reading a book. You won't regret a trip here!!! read more

I love this park! It's the best one in Denver. Although there is no lake, there is so much open space to do lots of different activities here. There are also beautiful rose bushes by the columns. Great way to enjoy a nice, sunny day in the city. read more

Always loved this place, beautiful view and scenery, and great location. There is always something going on with a lot of people around. They have a decent kids play area. There is a really good running track around the entire track, I can't remember how larger it is but it's more than a mile. Make sure to park in the proper areas, or else you will get a ticket!! Always lots of people shorting pictures for weddings and things like that at the pavilion. read more

Fun park for running but it's smaller and less action than wash park or city park. Check out the running club at the Irish snug for a large young group to run and chase! read more

I walk the "cheese" pretty much every day. I know there are gays looking for a hook-up but that is not my deal. Have never been bothered me thinks they know if your into that sort of thing. Try to smile and at least greet everyone I meet some folks are nice others no so much. It's Safer during the day as have seen some transients hanging out. Makes a nice addition to my routes. I keep a watch for the folks doing their own thing and make sure the ladies are safe to the best of my ability. We have an obligation to do that for each other in my book. read more

It's not the highest, trendiest, or even most interesting viewpoint in Denver but Cheesman Park does provide visitors with an excellent view of downtown Denver. It gets very crowded, but most folks come, snap a few pictures and leave so there's always a spot opening up on the grass for a picnic. read more

Best Park in Denver, smaller than City Park, but there is a huge lawn for throwing the disc, and it has nice views in the right places of downtown and the mountains. Best place to watch the stars in the city. There is a very nice path for jogging along the edge of the park, about 1.45 miles for a loop. I live overlooking the park and love it, weekends get very busy with people lounging about, grilling, and just enjoying the weather on nice days. read more

Wish dogs were aloud to run off leash, sometime the park rangers can be dicks and give you a ticket. Overall its a really beautiful park and great for sunday funday read more

A nice, safe park. Playground is small, but clean and lots of shade. Not very busy and ample parking. read more

Cheesman Park - Playground - Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We live a few blocks from Chesseman. Awesome park with a great front range view and full sun all day. Not the privacy of City Park, but not all the goose shit either. The one and only negative would be a total lack of respect for dog leash laws. A lot more people than you think have rescue dogs and dogs with aggressive defensive behaviors toward other dogs. There truly needs to be more done to reinforce the leash laws in the city in general, but especially at this park. Otherwise it's an amazing place to spend your day off. Tons of open space. read more

Amazing park to run a loop around in. Also a great spot to walk your pup. Very clean park, hardly any trash or goose poop.

Great park! But I got yelled at for slacklining :(. Not legal here! I suggest we change the rules!

I live a few blocks away and love cheeseman park as well as cap hill...Im gay, and it is a gay cruising spot, but mainly at night...Im not into to doing dudes in trees when you cant even see what they look like...but to each his own! I do, however love the atmosphere and views of the park...Wash Park is too stuck up and anti-gay...I love the mix of people at Cheeseman. read more

1953 and 54 a group of us electronics students from Lowry would have our touch football games there; aalso meet girls from Colo Womens College. read more

Hum...nothing but grass and trees. I think I'd rather be walking around one of Denver's other parks that has at least a lake.

The improvements and upkeep are wonderful. Delighted that it continues to help keep up real estate value around the hood :)

This park is wonderful. I even saw a man sporting a "Proud to Be HIV Positive. Prouder still to have gotten it from unprotected gay sex" t-shirt. This is an inclusive park, and great for people watching. The only downfall is there are hobos pooping on the lush grass. These vagrants sure get a free reign in Denver. read more

Great park! Dog friendly (on leash). It was beautiful and there were lots of people out.

I love the people that come here. Everyone one is laid-back, both literally and figuratively. You'll find all different kinds of people. Some of them with be enjoying the sun, some playing ball, others bouncing around on slacklines. It's fun to watch and it makes for a very inviting atmosphere. The park is well-kept and you get awesome views of downtown on the east side of the park. read more

i love living so close to cheesman that i can just walk two blocks to get there. it's beautiful and not overrun by joggers and people using the benches to do lifts. and, this is key for me, NO GOOSE POOP!!! dude, wash park is pretty and all, but it's loaded with poop. and cheesman so does not have that problem. i love to bbq here, play games, or just chill out. heck, you can even randomly stumble upon a movie being played on a big screen or people dancing to big band music or doing interpretive dance in the pavilion. best park in my humble opinion! and whereas i'd really like to notice this whole gay pick up thing, i have never noticed it. not once and i've been there a lot this summer with some hot dudes, so i'm thinking it's way more hyped up than it really is. read more

Has anyone else living next to Cheesman Park experienced strange occurrences since they started renovating the park in 2010? Several things have been happening in my apartment building over the last year and I just realized that the recent renovation has coincided with these events. A year ago, I saw the profile of a young child in my apartment, hiding under one of my houseplants. A month afterwards, a neighbor of mine (two floors above me) also saw the silhouette of a young girl staring at her television, in the dark, and in the middle of the night. I didn't tell her about my experience, because she was distraught enough as it was. Over the last few months, I have come home to find various lights turned on when I know they were off when I left, among many other things. I was just curious if I was alone on this. read more

My hubby and I know we can't compare any Denver parks to our dearest beloved Central Park (we enjoyed lining in Manhattan for a brief time), but as far as Denver parks are concerned; namely City Park, Commons Park, Washington Park and Cheesman - Cheesman is our favorite. What I love is the avoidance of traffic congestion right around the perimeter which is what you get with City Park and especially with Washington Park. In comparison in is quiet and sublime. The monument is beautiful and as for gay cruising, yes, I have seen single men hanging around on benches from time to time, or sitting alone in their cars, but no weird shenanigans - Just people in the park. The terrain is absolutely lovely with rolling hills and a stunning view of the mountains from the monument. And the history? Who doesn't love a great macabre story about exhumation and dismembered body parts? Personally, I agree with one review writer here: All the goose poop that is readily available at Washington, City Park or Sloans Lake is much more terrifying than a few spooky spirits lurking in the shadows at Cheesman. At least ghosts here don't leave crap on your shoes. read more

Great place to run! The dirt path around the perimeter is 1.4 miles long, FYI. Run here 3-4 times a week after work, and there are always people out and about walking their dogs, jogging, or playing games, especially when it's nice out. But I'll be honest, it does attract a lot of 20-somethings casting side glances at the other 20-somethings, which actually proves to be quite entertaining... read more

There weren't many flies, which was good, but the clouds could have been better on the day I visited this park.

Great park for walking and feeding squirrels especially in winter time. There is no water except for 2 fountains, but the positive thing about that is there is no geese too. read more

My favorite park in Denver! Great dirt trails for running and a huge open area with gorgeous grass for relaxing.

Truly the most beautiful of all parks in Denver!!! What could be finer than lush green grass that covers gently sloping hills? What could be finer than a 1.44 mile crushed granite stone path that you can run around? Got a well behaved dog on a leash? Then head on over to Chessman Park( so long as you don't forget to pick up what your four legged friend leaves behind)! Dog owners are truly responsible in this park and we like it clean! Another perk is that this park unlike Wash Park and City Park has no geese, which = no poop!!! Yes, that's right, you can lounge around on the grass and not worry every second or two that you will step in it! Young children will love the little playground area and there are a few tables and benches for a nice picnic lunch or dinner! There are also an abundance of gorgeous, mature trees that line the walkers sidewalks. You will also not be able to miss some beautiful older homes that surround the park as well as a Greek style acropolis where you can literally dance a tango in. Many different kinds of people come to this safe park to play flag football, bad mitten, tight rope walking, pick up soccer etc.. It's also known for sunbathers or beach book readers who just want to lounge around and soak up the sun! Of all the parks in Denver, it's in my opinion, the cleanest and most well maintained, minus the fact that at current time there is no proper bathroom facility, rather there are port a pots, something I would desperately love to see replaced ASAP! You will enjoy your visit in this lovely, hidden gem, in the Mile High City!!! read more

Never ever go here. This place is haunted. Was an old cemetery with thousands of graves. The city wanted to buy the property back to sell as real estate, so an unscroupulous undertaker hired some workers to dig up the bodies to replant them somewhere else. Well, there was a casket shortage, so the workers began tossing bones of dead people in childrens caskets mixing them up. They also looted the dead corpses. Then the undertaker just decided to move the headstones but not the bodies. There are still hundreds of bodies there that were NOT moved. There is a very negative energy in that so called park. You would have better luck going to the Littleton Cemetery and dancing on Alferd Packers grave. The botanical gardens next door is haunted and every once in a while maintenance workers accidentally dig up bones while working on water lines. In the early mornings you can still see the outline of graves when the sunlight and morning dew hit it just right. BAD energy here. Also, the condo high rise is also haunted, Stay away from there. read more

great park for jogging and also has a playground that our daughter really enjoys.
