One of the oldest parks in the city, City Park is a 330-acre green space constructed on gently rolling fields along the City Ditch, with wonderful views of the surrounding Rockies.

The park was originally built in 1882 and redesigned at the turn of the century. The northern section has tennis courts, baseball diamonds, and football and soccer fields. The western section has dense groves of deciduous and coniferous trees, rolling meadows, and an extensive network of trails and roads. The center of the park has two large artificial lakes, historic fountains, pavilions, and islands. East of the lakes is the Denver Museum of Natural History. There are a number of thematic gardens in the southeast part of the park including a collection of junipers.
