Daniels Park is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking mountain views in the background and a peaceful, wide-open feel. The wooden fences around the area give it so much character, and I love all the little spots where you can pull off and park along the road. The trail looks great, and I'm looking forward to mapping it out more and exploring it for runs. read more

The park is more a place for the bison to all live in peace. Less a park for people. The lookout spots are very beautiful. Great views of the mountain range and even Denver! The trails are also all right next to the road, so not ideal for feeling in nature. I would say not worth going out of your way for. If you want to see bison I'd go to Rocky Mountain arsenal instead there's about 10xs the amount of bison there compared to Daniels Park. When I went they were very far away in the valley and you could only see them driving by but not from a trail. read more

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

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

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

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

With its close proximity to Denver, it does the job when you're itching for a good walk. During the winter, I'm on the hunt for nearby spots to sneak in a quick hike. And as we all know in winter around here, there are plenty of sunny days where this is possible. Though having been here in the summer when the plants and flowers are in full bloom, I suggest making a trip then! This week's brief hike was the classic Fountain Valley Loop. Around 3 miles with only a few hundred feet in elevation, this is an accessible trail for most people. If you're lucky, you'll see mule deer chowing on grass and minding their own business. I love red rock formations, so coming here is enjoyable for me. Especially seeing the jagged ones that look like right triangles. Any geometry fans out there??? These are beautiful to look out, though kept at a distance, which to me is the con of this park. You can't get as up close and personal as you can at Garden of the Gods or Arches NP. Still, Roxborough is an underrated state park that many people neglect. Pay them a visit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

While vacationing in Parker, we were looking for a somewhat scenic view of Mountains. We looked up…read moresome places and Cherry Creek State Park was the closest place we could find. Like most state parks you have to pay to enter (park). I loved that they had signs pointing you in the right directions. We ended up adventuring near the rental picnic area down by the lake. I loved that it wasn't too busy despite it being summer. Very nice chill place to explore!

Ventured to Cherry Creek for a group hike. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW EXACTLY where you're going …read more The park is HUGE with several lots and meeting areas. Once I found my people all was well. What a beautiful place. Well maintained paths. Kind walkers, runners and cyclists on the trail. And PLENTY to see. Restrooms are conveniently located and also well maintained throughout the entire park. The views are GORGEOUS!!! 10/10: Wonderful time all around.

The park is fine...but the trail is why you come here…read more We are talking a minefield of Prairie Dogs howling at you. Very cool and cute.

I have so many great memories at Olympic Park that I couldn't possibly share them all here…read more There is lots of parking here and you can always tell when there are softball games or kids soccer practices because they will fill up. However, most of the time there is a lot more open spots to the left. I am currently in a softball league in which the games are held here at Olympic. The fields are always immaculate, but they are only used for games. If you want to have a practice there are other fields nearby. There are also sand volleyball courts behind the softball fields which are always nice to use and usually aren't packed. As this park is right next to the elementary school that I went to, I remember having several field days out on the large field. In the winter, I remember my family and I sledding down the snow filled hills and running back up to go again. There are so many things that you can do here. You can bring your dog to run around, have a nice quiet picnic or even have a birthday party. I seriously can't say enough good things about Olympic Park. The grass is so green and there is just something so special about this neighborhood park.
