Confluence Park
The site of a gold discovery that lead to the formation of Denver, Confluence Park is now a favorite among local recreation spaces.
Located right in downtown, Confluence Park marks the site where the Platte River and Cherry Creek meet. It was in this small delta that gold was discovered, leading to a large influx of people that eventually formed the city of Denver. While kayaking is the most visible sport in this small river, a small beach with a swimming area also courts a large number of visitors. Large green areas and long walking trails allow for either relaxation or a brisk walk around the park.
