Why Live in Washington Park
Washington Park is one of Denver’s most sought after neighborhoods. It feels like the outdoors while you’re still in the city, and nearly everything you need is close by.
An Active, Outdoor Lifestyle
The 165 acre park is the neighborhood’s backyard: a 2.6 mile outer loop and inner paths for running and cycling, two lakes, two playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, a recreation center, historic flower gardens and wide open lawns. On any weekend you’ll see volleyball, footvolley and pickup games across the grass.
A Social Neighborhood
Homes sit close together on tree lined blocks, so neighbors get to know each other. Block parties are common, and the park and Old South Gaylord are natural gathering spots all year.
Events All Year
Old South Gaylord hosts street festivals and seasonal events, the park hosts concerts and festivals for all ages, and every Thanksgiving thousands of runners join the Mile High United Way Turkey Trot around the park.

City Access with a Neighborhood Feel
