Garfield Lake Park — Attraction in Denver

3/5 – A Park Full of Memories

This park holds a special place in my heart—I've been coming here since I was little, and now I have the joy of bringing my own kids. It’s such a nostalgic feeling walking through the same paths I used to run around on, now holding my children's hands as they make their own memories.

One of their favorite spots is definitely the futsal court. They could spend hours there playing and laughing, and it's great to see that space being used and loved by the community.

That said, the park could use a little TLC—some of the areas are a bit worn down, and a refresh would really bring it back to life. It's not our absolute favorite park, but it still holds up and offers a good time, especially if you're nearby and looking for a spot to let the kids play and get some fresh air.

Overall, it’s a solid neighborhood park with heart, and for those of us who’ve grown up with it, there's something really special about passing the experience on to the...

My husband and I moved to the surrounding neighborhood a few months ago, and we have been very pleased with the park. There is a large open field to the south of the lake where people play soccer and volleyball. There is also a playground area, a public pool, a baseball area, and fenced in soccer courts. The lake is fairly large and the goslings in the spring are very cute to look at. The weekends and summer evenings bring a lot of people to this park, so it has its fair share of weekend gatherings of friends and family with a lot of cute kiddos running about. The only thing I would change is that there seems to be a bit of a graffiti problem mainly on the east side of the lake where there is a long fence. Graffiti is also a problem in the surrounding neighborhood(s) as well. I wish there was more of a community effort to stop this problem, but other than that the park is really splendid, and I would recommend a visit to this park in...
