City Park is an amazing place to see the sunset over the Rocky Mountains beyond the downtown skyline - sometimes accompanied by a lion roar or peacock crow from the Denver Zoo.
During the summer months, City Park's Fresh Market sets up around historic Sullivan Fountain among the majestic statues and architecture of the City Park Esplanade. Experience this fresh market on a patch of green in the heart of the city, and load up on Colorado honey, Western Slope apples, goat cheese and even cinnamon rolls!
The place to catch the Colfax Marathon is in Uptown! The marathon race makes its way down Colfax Avenue and into downtown before the runners reach the last leg of the race, down 17th Avenue and into City Park itself for the thrilling finish line next to Ferril Lake.
