By 1886 Denver’s development and population had grown enough for Washington Park neighborhood to become Denver’s first city suburb which established itself around the 162 acre park.
The boathouse pavilion, two lakes, tennis courts, 2.6 miles jogging loop, lawn bowling greens, horseshoe court, soccer fields, basketball court and the colorful flower beds along Downing Street are only a few things that make Wash Park not only the busiest recreational center in Denver but also the most popular.
Few neighborhoods in Denver are as centrally located as Wash Park and have such easy access to I-25, the Light-Rail, and other convenient commuting options.
