This is the perfect spot to see a sunset in Colorado. I visit my best friend in Parker, CO a few times a year and we always come to catch a sunset here at Daniel's Park. There is free parking and plenty of it. It has never been too crowded. There are restrooms available. There is also some seating, like benches, but not many. I've seen people bring their own lawn chairs. This is beautiful in the winter, summer, and everything in between. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Dedicated to the great monarch of the west, the buffalo, this is a remarkable piece of open space. Daniels Park makes for an absolutely worthwhile visit. Easily accessible from the south Denver region, it's truly a range to be celebrated. It may also have the distinction of being the site of Kit Carson's last campfire. Set aside at least an hour, if not a few, to get in some exercise. read more

Such a nice day and he surprised me by suggesting a visit. We got some drinks and headed here. Not many people which was nice so we could wander around. Spent time at our fav overlook. The sky was so clear that we could see many mountain tops and the view was gorgeous. Puffy white clouds and some large birds of prey flying over the park. Saw some jets as well. The wild sunflowers were so pretty, popping up here and there. read more

Oh, Daniels Park, how I love thee - Having realized this park was so close to home, we opted to head out for a morning walk. It really is the perfect place for anyone looking to experience: ++ A picnic breakfast! We loaded up our basket with egg cups, fried bacon, fresh cut peaches and biscuits and stumbled upon a secluded spot just before the overlook - while the overlook area features a pavilion with picnic tables! The gravel trail led to a quaint place, perfectly situated rocks for sitting with one hell of a view. ++ The best views! Literally, overlooking the entire valley, spanning from Roxborough Park to the Flatirons - even catching a glimpse of Devils Tower in the distance! The skies were perfectly clear, gorgeous in color and made for the perfect backdrop to our picnic! ++ A cheap date! FREE entry to the road that winds through Highlands Ranch, ending in Sedalia, making a cheap and outdoorsy date! ++ A quiet and peaceful place! While some trails were busy some runners and bikers, the park itself was relatively vacant. It could have been the early morning hour, or simply that this park is a suburban hidden gem. ++ An engagement! An intimate setting with best view makes for a romantic spot! Due to the reasons above and the fact this park is so close to my house, I can't wait to return for some fall and winter views! read more

I can't believe this wonderful park and magnificent views are so close and I've never been here before. Today we just happened upon Daniels Park while out exploring the area and I will definitely be back soon! We could see downtown Denver and from Longs Peak to Pikes Peak. Very similar to views from parks in Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree but without the houses to the west. Makes for great pictures (as long as you're not behind the fences - see last paragraph). There is a nice picnic pavilion with tables and a grill. There are also some nice overlooks to stop and take those great pictures. I didn't see many trails - just alongside the road. I checked the AllTrails map to see if I had missed them and it doesn't show any that I could find. My only complaint about this park echoes what I've read in some other reviews - the fences are hideous. Seriously, they look like they belong surrounding a prison instead of a park. I hope they are temporary but from what I've read they don't seem to be. The City of Denver needs to rethink them. read more

The new construction is ridiculous! It was so pretty before they put in all those tacky fences . But the views are amazing. The buffalo are great . Beautiful park that is now not as beautiful as it was before all the construction. read more

Amazing gem! A great place for runners and hikers. As a trail runner you can find some great hidden area that go for miles. Keep in mind that some of the trails are private, so respect them. Due to the limited access they only get 4 starts... GUYS we should ALL be able to enjoy the trails... open them up!!! read more

Daniels Park - Parks Near Me - Sedalia, Colorado

Sunset, Foothills and the Front Range!! Only 3 miles west of I 25 south of Denver, it provides an incomparable view from Pike's Peak in the South to Longs Peak in the North. When I go through the valley, as we all do, however briefly, a trip to Daniels Park is the perfect antidote, I pull out the driver, and tee 3 up, into the sunset, and just know that D.P. is the cure for the common mudslide.....what a trip... We go to Daniels Park regularly because we love the views of the mountains. It is a great place to take out of town folks who don't have time to go to the mountains. It feels like you are high and you can watch the sun set over the mountains. You can also see bison, elk and deer in the park. Nice place for picnics to with both open and covered tables. You can see forever, and parts of what you can see are even unsullied by civilization, so you're able to picture what it USED to look like. These are the best views of Denver and its surrounds--all elevated, looking across the valley--truly awesome. If you've never been there, you're going to kick yourself and ask yourself why! read more

A good park with lots of space to run dogs, rocks for kids to climb, and amazing views of Denver and the surrounding suburban area. You can even see Chatfield reservoir, and the sunsets make for great photography. The park does overlook a golf course, so mind the kids, and the drive is a bit out of the way, but I promise the views are worth it. And you get to see a buffalo/bison ranch on the drive out! read more

Daniels Park is unlike any other Denver park. I happen to live about a mile from here and love to visit for sunsets! Absolutely beautiful!

I love the views from Daniel's Park. You can see the entire front range with all sorts of wildlife. I have seen huge herds of elk roaming the area which they share with the buffalo that reside in the Park. It is over 1,000 acres and feels even more expansive than that when you are there. I hesitate to rave too much because it feels unspoiled despite its close proximity to large population centers. It is so close for me and I love getting away for a picnic, hike or just a leisurely walk to photograph the area. read more

Beautiful view, especially in the fall. Only complaint is how much litter there is. There are broken beer bottles and empty soda cans all down the rocks. It doesn't take much effort to keep an amazing place like this beautiful. However my dog loves following me up and down the rocks, exploring, and chasing the occasional lizard. This place is a definite must see to anyone who hasn't taken in the view yet. read more

This phospholipid polypeptide of a park reminded me of the blasé snazzy covalently bonded protein I haven't thought of in an innumerable amount of time. The two dimensional view shifted my boisterous monomer into a less perverted sacrilegious macromolecule. Thank you. read more

This is a breath-taking park and donated by a private citizen -- Australian by birth: Miss Florence Martin. I was privileged to know her and am hoping that some acknowledgment of her gift (in honor of Clara Daniels of the Daniels and Fisher business) and of her history will be displayed in some permanent way in the park. She, together with Helen Bonfils, kept early Denver theatre going with numerous and generous monetary contributions. Aside from that Florence Martin was an accomplished physicist in the days when women were never acknowledged for much of anything outside the home. However, the noted British scientist, Cavendish, working in England brought Miss Martin on board as an assistant (no pay or credit of course). He did describe her as "most able" She traveled the world and though many treasures were lost in the fire that destroyed her mountain home, some are left. When next you visit this incredible park, please think of her. Thank you. read more
