Known as one of Denver’s best neighborhoods, Washington Park is named for its expansive city park offering various opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. Take advantage of the boat rentals on Smith Lake or the bike rentals nearby at Washington Park. A playground, recreation center, jogging trails, athletic fields and courts, a community garden, and open lawns are all available to residents of this quaint neighborhood.
Washington Park boasts luscious lawns, tree-lined streets, and many craftsman style homes, making this a beautiful, inviting neighborhood. Families appreciate the charming environment of Washington Park and the excellent public schools like South High School. A smaller neighborhood park, Veterans Park, is just south of the school, known for its community center and athletic fields. Residents who commute to and from Washington Park have easy access to Interstate 25 and Highway 2, and Downtown Denver is a quick four miles northwest of town.
Washington Park is located south of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center and the Denver Country Club, and just north of the University of Denver. Though the neighborhood is mainly park land and residential streets, Washington Park hosts a few local restaurants of its own.

Very nice. But extremely expensive. Very busy and crowded nowadays especially at the park. Nice walking and close but not too close to main artery roads.

Washington Park is a wonderful neighborhood of old brick houses with an East Coast vibe. My roommates and I are all in our early-20s and we love the proximity to fun bars and restaurants on South Broadway. The park itself also adds an active element to the neighborhood. Great for weekday volleyball and evening runs.
