There are so many things we love about Cushing Park. The lake, the trees, the skatepark, the playground. My personal favorite is the entry at the north side. It feels special to walk through.
Update: We've been living here for years now and Google suggested I update my review. When the kids were little we enjoyed the playground. Now they enjoy throwing Frisbees in the open green spaces. The new skatepark looks great but my kids don't skate. I do see others having a great time.
I vastly prefer the new, open, picnic space. The old one was creepy and made the playground feel unsafe. I wish they'd changed it years ago but I'm glad they have now!
My brother lived here with me for years but is in college now but he really appreciates the new exercise area they put it. It could use some shade... My son is going to the rec center until the weather cools off but then he'll be giving it a try too.
I personally like bringing a camp chair and sitting and knitting in the shade while my busy family is running around. 😊 I think this is the best park in Englewood!
Twenty years ago, I looked Wash Park in Denver better but now it's so overcrowded that it's not fun. Cushing has enough people coming and going to feel alive and safe but not enough that it feels crowded. I can sit and feel alone if I want or sit near prior.
