Washington Park is located in south-central Denver. The park is long and rectangular and is bordered by Virginia Avenue on the north, Downing Street on the west, Louisiana Avenue on the south, and Franklin Street on the east. It is one mile long by a quarter-mile wide, covering 165 acres (0.67 km2), making it one of the largest parks in Denver. The neighborhood generally referred to as “Wash Park” is often broken down into eastern and western sides: not only do both have their neighborhood organizations and quite-different historical trajectories but since 1972 official city statistics have tracked Washington Park West as separate from the easterly “Washington Park.” The (eastern) Washington Park neighborhood has borders defined by the city of Denver as Downing Street, Cherry Creek, I-25, and University Boulevard. The public park is bounded along its long western edge by Washington Park West, and along all its other edges by (eastern) Washington Park. The park has two lakes, ten tennis courts, a large meadow used for lawn sports such as volleyball and soccer, a lawn bowling green, two of the city’s largest flower gardens, and its busiest recreation center.
