Garland Park — Attraction in Denver

It's a large and pretty park with water, which can be a treat in Denver. There is plenty of parking on the north and east sides, even when the field is in use. However, I am not from this neighborhood and ultimately did not feel comfortable even getting out of my vehicle to hang out on the grass.
