Commons Park is downtown Denver's signature urban park, stretching along the South Platte River with stunning skyline views. Built on former railyard land, it's become the heart of the LoHi and Platte neighborhoods and a key link in Denver's trail system.

Trail Hub
Commons Park sits at the confluence of Denver's major trail systems. The South Platte River Trail and Cherry Creek Trail meet here, making it a perfect starting point for bike rides or runs in any direction.
The Views
Rolling hills provide excellent vantage points of the downtown skyline. The Great Lawn is a popular spot for picnics, frisbee, and outdoor yoga classes.
The Neighborhood
Surrounded by some of Denver's best restaurants, breweries, and coffee shops. The REI flagship store is right next door. Combine park time with exploring the Platte and LoHi dining scenes.
Pro Tip: The kayak course on the South Platte runs right through the area. Watch from the park or rent gear nearby to try it yourself. The Railyard Dog Park is also adjacent for pups.
