The park is located 1 block from Historic Old South Pearl Street, which is loaded with fun things to do. The neighborhood usually sponsors an annual Easter egg hunt for kids under 12, which is definitely thrilling to watch. The park also shows movies and has music occasionally, but could do more to improve entertainment options during the summer months. The Fleming Mansion, Senior Center, and Decker Library are all located at the north end of the park. So if you are in the neighborhood grab some drinks, a pizza, a book, or all three, and have a little picnic in this hidden Denver gem!

No other dogs were there the morning I came, so my huskies got bored pretty quickly. Bring your own poop bags and water like most dog parks in Denver. Not my top pick for next time, but I'm glad we got to explore!

We ended up packing everything up and going across street to Target to use restroom instead.
