Washington Park

Washington Park is where you take visitors when you’re trying to show Denver off. In a city full of green space—more than 270 at last count—Wash Park stands out as one of the largest and most beloved. It calls to both retirees who value walkability and active, young families who want to meet up with friends to play Spikeball while their kids explore the expansive central playground and then stroll back to their remodeled early 20th century Victorian homes, brick bungalows, or more opulent new builds.

The neighborhood’s prime location, low crime rank, and high-scoring Steele Elementary School are big draws, as is its proximity to Historic South Gaylord Street.
