The Dragon Boat Festival, which draw thousands of people each year, summer concerts in the park and spectacular July 4th fireworks are just a few highlights the park has to offer. In addition, recently completed Denver Parks an Recreation’s phase two of the Sloans Lake Master Plan have residents enjoying a new marina and west-end park improvements.
