Washington Park, or Wash Park for short, is the perfectly urban suburb. It bustles with park goers, foodies, and quite happy residents. If the name does not give it away, the Washington Park neighborhood surrounds Washington Park itself and is 4.5 miles away from Downtown Denver and 2 miles from Cherry Creek. This neighborhood is most certainly Denver’s most sought-after neighborhood. 

The Park

The park is 165 acres and home to two lakes, paddle boat and bike rentals, shade trees, a two-mile jogging path, mountain views, volleyball, soccer, and two formal gardens. All year round you’ll find people walking and running the trails, but in the winter, you’ll see country cross skiers. The sunny days are filled with skateboarders, rollerskaters, rollerbladers, strollers, and even slow-walkers. No matter what time of year, you’ll see people of all ages, any time of the day. The Park could be considered Denver’s “Central Park”. But now we have a neighborhood located in the northeast part of the city called Central Park. HA!!

Things to do in the Washington Park

Done playing at the park? Nestled in the neighborhood are the Old South Gaylord Street Shops, or you could go visit South Pearl Street. Both, South Gaylord and South Pearl streets are lined with yummy restaurants, wine and cocktail bars, specialty shops, boutiques. In the summer you can find a great farmers market on South Pearl. 

Washington Park Architecture

Victorian-style homes, bungalows, and many infamous Denver Squares, but there are many modern homes fill the neighborhood. There are large homes and small homes. Homes from the late 1800s and brand-new homes. The smaller homes with smaller yards tend to be on the West side of the park, also known as West Washington Park, or West Wash Park. The west side also has more attached homes, duplexes, townhouses, apartments, condominiums and little corner restaurants.
