Great little park with a playground and the bottom of the hill and baby swings. Lots of people walking their dogs and playing fetch. Good area for a picnic in the grass.

This park reflects everything of Denver the good & the bad. From happy pups to homeless people right next door to the most powerful person in CO right next door. Park is always filled with homeless people and they trash the place in the mornings. Pretty sad that its right next to the governors mansion.

This park has fleas or something, I saw a weird looking caterpillar on my ankle with its abdomen stuck into it like a syringe. I swatted it off and there was a little blood where it bit me. The bite got really swollen. I went back the next week and sure enough another thing bit me, like a flea? same thing, the bite area got really swollen. Beautiful place. Not going there anymore.
