After strolling with man's best friend for a lap or two, you can seat yourself in a few restaurants that are from walking distance at Jefferson Park. There are Meet Ups here for dog lovers and Nick and I chuckled at the idea that if you don't have a canine companion, you're not going to fit in. Just kidding! No seriously, every block there seems to be paws crossing the paths with other fur kid paws and dog moms/dads! This area surrounded with lots of young millennials and their pawsionate fur-babies. Jefferson Park is a neighborhood and public park that overlooks Downtown Denver, Colorado from its perch across Interstate 25. It is located in the area that is called North Denver! the City of Highlands was annexed, and thereafter was known as "North Denver."

You'll also spot an army of dogs out for their morning walk, and atop the hill sits a cool playground that must get busy in the afternoons. Jefferson also offers plenty of picnic / grilling areas, and benches - some way out in the lawn so you can sit in the shade and enjoy the view.

Confluence Park encompasses the point where Cherry Creek flows into the South Platte River. This is…read morealso the spot where Denver was founded in May 1858. Beginning a city here proved to be a poor choice as the waterways were prone to periodic flooding. The City shifted to the northeast and this area was ignored and filled up with heavy industrial users. A huge flood in 1965 destroyed much of that infrastructure and provided an opportunity for redevelopment. The Greenway Foundation was a prime mover in the 1970s to create a park highlighting this area. A major update in the 1990s focused on floodplain management and further enhanced the park as a hub for the regional trail system. Today this is a highlight of Lower Downtown. Shoemaker Plaza begins at the REI building and extends down to the north edge of the South Platte River. The main park area begins at the south edge of the River and covers both sides of Cherry Creek. The trail system runs through this and continues north, south, and east. This is a beautiful space and exists in its own world, apart from the bustle of Lower Downtown. It is well worth a visit.

There is both a paved and gravel path around the outside perimeter and a large grassed open space inside. There are 4 walk-in entrances on the west side and 3 entrances on the east side.

No other services.

In the summer, kids are running through splash pads and people lounge with iced coffees like it's their personal terrace. Winter? There's an ice rink and a cozy little vibe that makes downtown feel like a Hallmark movie. It's not huge, but it packs in charm--ping pong tables, food trucks, random art, and the kind of people-watching you only get in a place that never really quiets down. It's one of those spots you don't plan on staying long in... but somehow, you do.

There isn't a parking lot so street parking around the park will have to do. It's easily accessible off Federal. Major bummer is their sprinkler system.

Yes, I know from experience. All that aside, it's an easy peezy park to bring your kids to play in the playground area.
