A
Confluence Park
This wonderful place of healthy outdoors activity is a magnet for families with picnic blankets and prepared lunches, smooching young lovers and singles buried in a book or newspaper. Cool off on a hot summer's day by swimming or wading over the rocks.
Confluence Park is where the Cherry Creek and Platte River meet, and bike/jogging trails connect it to all the other waterfront parks. It's a wonderfully egalitarian place where all types from all backgrounds come to celebrate their city.

Commons Park
Affording views of the city and a bit of fresh air, this spacious, hilly patch of green is the best place to take yourself out of the Downtown bustle. There are bike paths, benches and plenty of people sprawling out with take-away lunch. You can also access Denver's best stroll, along the Platte River Parkway.

Washington Park
Denver's best local park, this great little strip of green is where moms zip by on rollerblades, Frisbees float around all afternoon and clusters of friends lounge beneath the proud Denver skyline. A bike path around the park makes for an excellent ride.

Civic Center Park
In the shadow of the State Capitol's golden dome, this centrally located park hosts lounging drifters waiting for their bus connections, politicos yammering into Bluetooth headsets and some of the most iconic public sculptures in the city.
