👍👍 This is quietly one of the best places to play tennis in the entire world. I am not being hyperbolic. The courts seem to hang off the side of the hill, making you feel like you are playing on top of the world. It's epic and surreal. Do yourself a favor and play tennis here at some point in your life... People often mention park, tennis, views, great, courts,

    This park is a very small park, with a tiny field that would be good for a picnic or sunbathing. There are tennis courts. It is street parking only. There is also a weird circular cement platform that surrounds the tennis courts, which allow you to soak up the views of Colorado. This park is situated right on top of a big hill, which allows you to see all the way to downtown Denver, and also to the mountains. Great views. The playground here is small and simple yet has enough features to be exciting. There are two regular swings. The ground covering is padded under the whole structure, with sand/pebbles around the padding. There is a rock climbing wall, both traditional and a little simpler for the younger kids. There are stairs, and ladders and lots of other ways to climb. There are two slides, one spiral and one straight. There is a "telescope" and a "general store" for pretend play. Underneath the easier rock climbing wall are some pretend bats and cave drawings.

    Great local park with an almost 360 degree view that includes Denver and the mountains (some views are blocked by larger trees and buildings now, but it's still good) . A basketball hoop, tennis courts and a great playground, as well as room for kids to run and bike, makes it a great place to play and walk with the family.

    Great park, could use some concrete repair and tennis court repair. Clean open space. Good PokemonGo location.

    It is small but with a majestic view and perfect for training the tiny ones to bike, roll skating or other activities that needs them running around yet always in sight.

  • 4/5 Richard T. 6 years ago on Google
    This park has a beautiful view of the surrounding area. It has basketball and tennis courts on top of a water tank. The playground is for younger kids but still is fun and new. There is quiet places to read and grass to picnic. Overall a great place to go!

    Nice place for a short walk. Great views all around

  • 5/5 Craig F. 5 years ago on Google
    This park has amazing views of both the mountains and Denver. There's tennis courts, half of a basketball court and some playground equipment. It's definitely a hidden gem but it's a little odd because most of the park is on top of a huge circular concrete pad that is the top of some kind of water cistern or reservoir.
