In the Washington Park (Wash Park to locals) neighborhood of Denver, a fascinating history...
Neighborhood Spotlight - Observatory Park
Observatory Park is an amazing area of central Denver, known for its namesake park. Throughout the neighborhood, you'll find large lots, tree-lined streets, and a quieter pace within the city. You're notably close to Platt Park, DU/University area, as well as a short drive to Cherry Hills or Cherry Creek North. Here's a few things to explore in the area:
Dining Favorites
- Dough Counter - for a casual family pizza night or take-out.
- Sushi Den / Izakaya Den for some of the best sushi in Denver. We love the upper level of Izakaya Den for indoor/outdoor dining on a nice evening, or the chef's counter at Sushi Den.
- Sonder or Kaladi Roasters to grab a cortado or drip coffee.
Things to See and Do Nearby
- Attend a DU Pioneers Lax or Hockey Game - Check Schedule
- Stop by the South Pearl Street Farmers Market - go early, it gets hot and crowded
- Have a picnic at Observatory Park or attend an Observatory Public Night
