Guidebook for Denver
Parks & Nature
Washington Park is where it is all happening! Joggers, walkers, soccer games, hammocks, volleyball games and more. Walk your dog, take a run, a hike or sit on a bench by the lake and enjoy the ducks. The gardens in summer are amazing. *Some Saturdays the Wash Park Weenies meet up and walk their tiny dachshunds around duck lake. Sometimes there are 40+ tiny doggies!
