What parents say
"Such a calm place over looked place to connect with water. A great place to bring kids, a date, or even date yourself! Peaceful enough to read a book, or go on stroll down the Cherry Creek trail. Definitely check out the great street art/murals on the trail!"

"It's a great public park downtown and also has a community garden. They have a basket on the gate giving out extra produce, (so thoughtful & kind) lots of local residents walking their dogs and picking up their "deposits ". I did note trash lying about, but early morning so most likely left by the "park overnight visitors" We really enjoyed it!"
