Confluence Park is one of the smaller parks but the central location draws large crowds. Encompasses the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River in Denver’s lower Downtown. With warm weather and ample sunshine, this is a perfect place to dangle your feet into the man-made white water to fish while keeping your eyes peeled for kayakers, rafters, and surfers! If you imagined you were in a landlocked state, Confluence park has so many water activities to offer to make it feel the opposite. The trail runs along both Cherry Creek and South Platte River for running and biking. Along the river, you have a stunning view of Denver's amusement park Elitch Gardenslocated in the heart of the city. The park is adjacent to new up- scare townhouses, apartments, and loft developments offering a great location for nearby experiences.
