On my walking tour of the city's East side, I took a trip through City Park. The largest park in the city (excluding the Mountain Parks owned by the City & County) has some great amenities. It was a bit bleak in the middle of winter, but it was still being used pretty heavily.

DAY 3: CITY PARK

 

 

The entrance to the park was beautiful.

 

 

Denver East High School

 

 

 

 

This is the absolute best MLK stature I've seen.

 

 

 

 

Denver Museum of Nature & Science

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A map of how to get to Downtown via bike. That's awesome.

 

 

And the entrance to the city golf course.

 

 

That's it for City Park. The zoo is also located in the park, but I didn't have the time or money to go through it.

Part 9 is the last thread of the tour. I went through the University of Colorado at Denver campus and took one last look at Confluence Park and LoDo http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,18120.new.html

 

 

 

 

Excellent. I didn't know Denver had areas like that; some of those gave me a strong Chicago parks-and-boulevards vibe, particularly Washington Park at the west end of the Midway Plaisance (59th Street) in Hyde Park.

 

 

Great park...Denver is actually blessed with many great parks.

Looks nice.

Beautiful!!!!!

Great shots!  I would have ditched the conference and gone snowboarding, but that is just me!

I can see why so many people who get priced out of California's cities go to Denver...  looks like a really great place!
