    I'm so delighted that Christian B., my good Yelp friend agrees that Jefferson Park is doggie dog…read moreworld! 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.

Highly recommended... except for the cafe. ;)

    I enjoy the peacefulness and serenity of walking through Botanical Gardens. We were in town for…read morespring break and I read that the Denver Botanic Gardens was amazing. We decided to check it out. We arrived to Denver Botanic Gardens on a Saturday morning. The gardens are located in a nice lush area in Denver. Free parking is accessible in the parking garage across. There's nothing better than starting your morning with a brisk walk through a natural setting of tranquility. I felt that with the Denver Botanic Gardens as soon as we started our journey. Besides the magnificent vast variety of curated plants and flowers, there was themed gardens, harmonious architecture, indoor conservatories, and cultural ponds. The Japanese gardens were my favorite. A cozy cafe is available for small bites and refreshments as well. The property is extensive and immense but just the right size to explore. There were plenty of benches everywhere to relax and rest. I found that to be a nice touch. Beautiful picture opportunities were boundless. Overall we enjoyed our experience at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The staff were all nice and accommodating. The atmosphere was welcoming and family friendly. Price point was fair. I would love to share the experience with other loved ones when we eventually come back into town.

    Atmosphere and Scenery The atmosphere at City Park is very…read moreromantic and calm. It is a nice place to walk around with family and friends. Or to just play at the park, and a lot of people go there for running, biking, or playing soccer. One of the best things about this park is that it did not smell bad. I noticed because I know some parks have a stinky smell, but this one did not. Even though we went during the summer, it wasn't super hot and there were not a bunch of bugs for that time of year. Crowd The crowd depends on when you go and if there is an event happening. It was not crowded at all on the day we went because we went during the week. However, I know during certain times of the year they have jazz in the park and it gets super packed. Most of the time, everybody pretty much minds their own business or they are friendly, but if you go for an event, you should plan ahead accordingly. Price: This location is completely free to go to since there is no park entrance fee or anything. Even the jazz in the park events are free and really neat, which makes it a great spot if you are looking for a nice place that is laid-back and free to enjoy. Parking and Transportation: There are plenty of places to park during a normal day, but when we went to jazz in the park during the summer, it did take some time to find a spot. You should make sure to show up early so that you can find parking. If you live a little bit away, you might want to take an Uber, or you can just walk or ride your bike if you live close enough. Overall Experience: My husband and I went right before sundown to do a picnic and painting date that also served as a photo shoot. We had someone set this up for us and we paid for it, so it was very convenient because we just showed up and followed their instructions. It was a great time to go because it wasn't very busy and the lighting was perfect. I think it is a good spot to have a photo shoot or a cute picnic date because it has such a romantic feel to it. We had a really fun time and I highly recommend this place.

Anyway, the grid they created was still close to perfect and it stuck. City Park came later in 1882, and it too was visionary. Huge. Green. Perfectly placed. Eventually, its lake and boathouse would endure as the foreground of many of the city's best skyline photos. Not to mention, it has a city golf course, zoo, and nature and science museum. Designed in the style of New York's Central Park, the awesomeness of its splendor endures to this day.
