Denver, Colorado
Washington Park, often compared to New York's Central Park, is one of Denver's most beloved green spaces. Known for its vast flower gardens, including a replica of Martha Washington's garden at Mount Vernon, the park offers a scenic retreat with two lakes and a historic boathouse.
The park is a hub for fitness enthusiasts, featuring a popular 2.5-mile loop for runners and cyclists, as well as extensive lawn areas for volleyball and other sports. Its rec center and well-maintained paths make it a focal point for the surrounding historic neighborhood.
