With 330 acres of land (some of which are devoted to the now-shuttered Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science), City Park offers plenty of space to sprawl, walk, run, bike or just lounge on a blanket. With glorious views of the Denver skyline and the Rocky Mountains, a walk around the ponds makes the world feel a little bigger at a time when everything feels rather claustrophobic. So breathe fresh air, be around people without being too close to them, and enjoy one of Denver’s greatest treasures for people of all ages. If your peregrinations take you past the zoo, you might be lucky enough to see a baboon peering down at you from the trees.
