Sloan Lake Denver, CO

The lakefront home of Denver’s second largest city park

Lake City Park Boating

Sloan Lake, also known as Sloan’s Lake, is a lakefront neighborhood just three miles west of Downtown Denver. Bikers, hikers, and boaters flock to this walkable neighborhood with paved sidewalks and tree-lined streets. This neighborhood surrounds Sloan’s Lake Park, Denver’s second largest city park across nearly 200 acres. Enjoy local events like the annual Dragon Boat Festival, or check out some of the local businesses around the area such as Hogshead Brewery on West 29th Avenue.

But because Denver is known for its craft beer scene, you’ll find even more brew options Downtown!

High population of folks from different countries around the world, mostly refugees. It helps balance out the white upper-middle class.
