    This is a great little taste of Japan just off the bustling traffic of Colorado Boulevard -- it's…read moreone of the Denver Sister Cities International's designated parks that symbolize the close relationships we have with our Sister Cities. We've been Takayama's Sister City for over 60 years, and we have deep close friendships with the people of Takayama. It's a city nestled in the "Japanese Alps" that famous for craftsmanship, artistry, and the Hida region's wagyu beef. The Denver Takayama Sister City Committee (www.denvertakayama.org) hosts events throughout the year, and sponsors both adult and student trips to Japan, and welcome trips from Takayama. Each spring and fall, we meet at this very cool little park to trim the bonsai trees, pull weeds and clean up the site.

    For years living in Denver I had no idea why there was a City of Takayama Park... (Or a City of…read moreBrest Park, or a City of Cuernavaca Park, etc.) As it turns out, Denver participates in the Sister Cities International Program and has ten sister cities, including Takayama in Japan. Takayama became Denver's sister city back in 1960. It is said that the two cities share similar traits, including mountainous geography nearby. The relationship has lead to many cultural exchanges over the years. As a park, City of Takayama isn't the most fascinating in you'll ever find. It is mainly open space between the wooded north edge of Cherry Creek and Cherry Creek North Drive. It's main feature is that the Cherry Creek Trail runs through it, which is a great trail that runs all the way out to the reservoir - I personally miss biking this on a regular basis when I lived in Denver. Other than that, there are a few markers that note the relationship between the two cities. Perhaps this is not a destination park, really one that you just pass through or drive by. But, kind of cool to know that there is something more behind it. You can also find out more about the Denver Sister Cities Program at: http://denversistercities.org/
