Berkeley Lake Park is an 83-acre park in northwest Denver with the 34-acre Berkeley Lake in its heart.

The park offers magnificent views of the Rocky Mountains. The land was originally settled in 1879 by John Walker who developed a racetrack around the lake, a resort, and dance hall. The city bought the site in 1906 and included it in the Denver Park and Parkway System. Denver’s first public golf course was built in the park in 1910 to the north of the lake. A boat dock and pavilion were developed, and lawns and a grove of trees were planted on the south shore.

The park also has a Moorish-style bathhouse built in 1918, an Italianate pumphouse, and the cottage-style library. Green meadows alternate with mature cedar, oak, pine, and birch. Cottonwoods provide shade for the footpath along the lakeshore.
