Encompassing 165 acres southeast of downtown, the park has two large lakes, 10 tennis courts, a large meadow used for lawn sports such as volleyball and soccer, a lawn bowling green, two of the city’s largest flower gardens, and its busiest recreation center. People throughout Denver come to the park, most often to walk, jog, bicycle, use a playground, or hang out and people watch.

​

Denverites are actively involved with the park — which ties to the surrounding West and East Washington Park neighborhoods as well as the greater Denver parks system — whether it’s to help with tree plantings or participate in the development of a park master plan such as the one completed in March 2011.
