    So much fun! When we got there I was surprised how many different play structures and areas to play. Only bad thing is that you can lose your child quite easily in the large climbing structure but they are kids after all it was a lot of fun for the whole family.

    Huge park at the end of a long trail. Splash pad. Climbing apparatus. Picnic tables. Plenty of parking. Very nice especially on a beautiful day.

    Very impressive park. I have never seen a city park with such an impressive playground. This is really the playground of playgrounds out here. Also probably the nicest part about this very bad neighborhood

    Great park for doing a few laps, but even better for the kids. They've got a huge playground that seemed to be entertaining both kids and parents, a small skate park, basketball courts, and restroom facilities. People were having a blast on the equipment, others were jogging, and others were sitting out in the grass, just enjoying the view of the creek. On a warm Saturday afternoon, this place was packed! Easily over 100 people, mostly around the play areas. Great neighborhood park.

    Play structure was amazing.

    Super fun park. Lots to explore including a splash pad on hot summer days. The zip line was broken last time I visited but, when it worked, it was super unique. The zip line took the rider back to where they started. I've never seen on like that before. Street parking but parking was easy. Listen for a horn that kind of sounds like a bike horn. There was a guy nearby selling snacks from a cart.

    Great place to bring kids of all ages, massive area to kick a ball around and with multiple things to do and well kept grounds. Plenty of parking nearby.

    Lots of wide open space, a creek, (had remnants of homelessness but still pretty,) epic playground, could hear the cheers from the Broncos stadium in the distance. This playground is really cool with nets, ropes, swings, platforms and all sorts of climbing apparatus inside the tower. Unique seesaw. Swings too. Highly recommend.

In the summer, kids are running through splash pads and people lounge with iced coffees like it's their personal terrace. Winter? There's an ice rink and a cozy little vibe that makes downtown feel like a Hallmark movie. It's not huge, but it packs in charm--ping pong tables, food trucks, random art, and the kind of people-watching you only get in a place that never really quiets down. It's one of those spots you don't plan on staying long in... but somehow, you do.

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.

    For years (maybe even decades), Glendale's annual Fourth of July fireworks display has been held at…read moreCreekside Park. The park is closed off for safety reasons but we take a picnic and camp out on the lawn at the neighboring Staybridge Suites to watch the action up close. It's a super fun way to kick off your Fourth of July festivities (for whatever reason, Glendale's fireworks always happen a day or two before July 4th). Earlier this week it was announced that the highly anticipated Glendale Riverwalk Project will be put on hold http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/blog/real_deals/2015/04/175-million-development-planned-for-glendale.html?surround=etf&ana=e_article. Instead, a new retail and entertainment district called Glendale 180 will be developed on a 22 acre parcel between Colorado Boulevard and Cherry Street, and Virginia Avenue and Cherry Creek. The city plans to break ground in the Fall of 2015 and officials hope to open for business in 2017. And this will mean that Creekside Park is going away. I'm torn. It's truly a shame to lose a nice, big park. But Glendale and its neighbors will be gaining job opportunities and new fun recreational activities. As it stands now, the design is thoughtfully planned with lots of open space, year-round landscaping, and meandering pathways that will create an inviting community gathering place. No office or residential space will be included in the new development, just shops, restaurants, and a cinema. And lots of parking. And relaxed open container laws! Apparently, Glendale used to be quite the hot spot back in the day so it's planning to get back to its partytime roots. Glendale 180 - see what they did there? The final fireworks display in Creekside Park is scheduled for Thursday, July 2, 2015. I, for one, will be there to help send Creekside Park out with a bang. Yelp Review #400

I forgot about the joy of watching fireworks, it was like I was five years old all over again with a permanent grin plastered on my face. I hope Glendale decides to keep the Annual firework show going even after the new Glendale development goes up. I was impressed and awed by the whole evening. Thank you Vicki P. for showing me some of the best fireworks in Denver. Pro Tips for the optimal Firework experience: *Bring chairs (cup holders are a plus) *Bring a jacket or a blanket (it gets chilly in the evening) *Food + Libation = Fun times *Parking is a hot mess, I recommend parking at least a half mile away and walking so you don't get stuck in traffic when leaving with all the closed/blocked streets surrounding the area

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.
