Washington Park Neighborhood

Washington Park – dubbed “Wash Park” by locals, is where you take visitors when you’re trying to show off Denver.  The actual park, Wash Park, stands out as one of the largest and most beloved in Denver. The park itself has two lakes, two formal flower gardens, tree-lined paths and seemingly endless expanses of green grass. It’s a fitness mecca for Denverites, and on any given day you’re likely to spot people walking their dogs, running, biking, paddle boating or doing yoga.  

The neighborhood is made up of turn-of-the-century Victorian homes, brick bungalows, or more opulent new builds. The neighborhood’s prime location and high-scoring Steele Elementary School are main draws, as is its proximity to the charming Historic South Gaylord.  Visit Historic South Gaylord where you can experience local galleries, wine and cocktail bars, specialty shops, boutique and high-end clothing stores and some of Denver’s best local dining.
