Bordered to the north by Alameda Avenue, to the west by Downing Street, to the east by University Boulevard and to the south by I-25, Washington Park is a charming, distinctive old Denver neighborhood with mature shade trees, quiet streets and well-cared for bungalow style homes. ?Wash Park? as it is called, offers excellent access to any major location in the city.
At the center of the neighborhood is a beautiful 161-acre park containing two large lakes, which are often frequented by flocks of geese, tennis courts, a recreation center, flower gardens, picnic areas and a playground. The rec center features a public pool, workout area and basketball courts. From bikers and rollerbladers to runners, walkers and picnickers, the park is a sanctuary for residents and Denverites of all ages. A special block in this lovely neighborhood, Old South Gaylord Street, is home to one-of-a-kind specialty shops, service businesses, restaurants and cafes.
