Pretty useless park. Like, grass and trees are always nice. But it’s small and surrounded by high-traffic roads on all 3 sides, and the bottom 2/3 of the park is mounded and slopes towards the roads. Denverites love their parks. There’s a reason this one is always empty. You can’t get to it easily because of the roads. You can’t relax in it because of the road noise. You can’t play ball sports because a ball on the ground is going to roll down the slope into the roads. You can’t let small kids play here because there’s no playground and they’re going to run into the aforementioned roads. You can walk your dog here so that’s something I guess.
