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.

Very enjoyable area, not much to do but very peaceful. Would be great on a nice day to have your…read morecoffee or read a book.

I moved back to Denver from out of state in 2011. While I tried, I found it fairly difficult to…read moremake good friends in my first couple years. I tried re-connecting with old friends and used sites like meetup.com with no success.. That is until I found Nakid. They were hosting a beginning of season party at Jackson's, which I decided to check out. I discovered one thing about Nakid at this event, it's a social league more than anything. Needless to say, I had an awesome time and decided to join their Bar Sports league. Fast forward a few years.. I've made so many friends and connections through Nakid. I want to reiterate, this is a social league. If you're looking for an ultra-competitive kickball league, this is probably not going to be your cup of tea. This is an amazing league for people who want to meet more people and be social. Oh, and did I mention that we love to drink? I would recommend one of their beginning/end of season parties at Jackson's if you're a little unsure.

We got to try out some of the REI equipment, like tents, sleeping bags and camping chairs and got informed on many other things you should bring when camping and proper protocol and guidelines. Yelp Elite put this on, and what a great job Matt and the team did. Astro Coffee was there caffeinating us, phenomenal coffee/drinks. All-in-all not only is REI one of my favorite places to go and just walk around and look at all of the gear, clothing etc but the classes they do are really well done. I want to get more involved with these and any guided adventures they setup.

La Alma isn't the nicest and it isn't the top spot in Denver for many things, its gym is small and cramped and its Weight Room rivals some apartments complex's workout rooms. But, it serves a vital role in the area and provides a great place to go to play sports and swim in the summer. We used to joke that we are already 5 Points down when coming to basketball games here because of the suspect clock management and score keeping but none the less it was a good experience being her to watch kids games. Once again for a fraction of the cost of going to a trendy national workout chain you can have access to this gym and all the others I have reviewed in my DRP Rec center tour!

MEET.WAIT.CHILL. Vying for worst run league in Denver,…read moreyou're better off joining bigger leagues like Volo and CityWideSports, which are better run and have games that actually start on time. We were in a 6 game softball league summer of 2023 and not single game started on time. A couple games had to end due to lack of sunlight and then finish the following week. Im not sure if they're aware that people plan their schedules around the games. One example was we had our first playoff game and the game had a timing change the morning off, and then we all received another email saying the umpire was running late 30 minutes before the game. Original game time was 530, then changed to 545, then 6pm....he didn't show up until 615pm. This was at a field with no lights and sunset at 730ish. We played a full game, but the following team couldn't finish theirs. If they knew they had scheduling or even staffing conflicts, why not play at a field with lights? Also the umpiring crew was horrendous. I give kudos to our game one playoff umpire, he was the first umpire they provided who knew the rules of softball. The others we've had issues...along with other teams with keeping track of outs, calling balls way foul a hit, balls a homerun when it's a ground rule double, etc. We've also played against another team who were sliding into our second basement and other fielders hard which would've been an automatic out at other leagues; safety was not an option for that umpire that game. Also we had the umpire on game 2 not keep track of the scores and they asked if we remember what the scores were for all games played that day! Only redeeming thing was that Mike is easily reachable and has been easy to talk to.
