City Park is undoubtedly Denver’s best. It’s a vibrant centre for the city to learn, exercise, or simply gather with friends. This self-guided tour meanders along the 5km gravel walking path that passes by City Park’s monuments, historic buildings, lakes, and towering trees.

As you stroll through the park, you’ll hear about Denver’s gold mining past, the area’s significant dinosaur bone discoveries, our local celebrities, and the city’s sociocultural landscape. This historical park boasts plenty of natural beauty, too, and at Ferril Lake, you may see egrets, geese, squirrels, cormorants, and magpies.

You’ll get an opportunity to take a photo of Denver’s iconic skyline with its mountainous backdrop, from the vantage of a grassy hill. This circular route will lead you back to your starting point, after encountering statues of the freedom fighters Mahatma Gandhi, Frederick Douglass, Rosa Parks, and Sojourner Truth at the Martin Luther King Memorial.
