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.
