Hentzell (Paul A) Park — Attraction in Denver

Hentzell is more of an open space vs. a traditional park. With that said, you will be hard pressed to find bathrooms, picnic areas, and a children's playground.

There is a well maintained bike /walking path here. That will carry you to the reservoir or downtown. With that said, it can be challenging depending on time and day for walkers. This is a heavily used area for bikers, and some of the courtesy has been thrown out the window for some.
