Cheesman Park was named after Walter Cheesman at the start of the 20th century (1907); in fact, his family financed the beautiful, neoclassical pavilion you see on the eastern side of the park .

This is a great park to run or take your dog for a nice walk or throw the ball. It can get busy on weekends. Beautiful sunset from the columns. If you are local ride your bike there & watch sunset

In the Fall, trees stop producing chlorophyll. The carotenoids present in the leaves can finally show through. The leaves become a bright mix of glowing yellows, warm oranges and comforting browns.

This is the one of the best parks in Denver . Cheesman Park was named after Walter Cheesman at the start of the 20th century. It a very beautiful and peaceful place . You can enjoy your weekend here.

Night of the Living dead could happen here with hipsters , hippies and gay people. Love hanging here to drink bloody marys on a nice day and people watch . Former cemetery . Theres stillsome bodies.

Great Urban Park . It sits on the site of what was the old Denver City Cemetery . They say it's haunted. Nevertheless, playground , running and walking path .

Beautiful place to enjoy he weekend sun. And the history of this place is fun! Walk around a bit and look for the History board. You won't be disappointed.

Best park in Denver ! Not as many geese and poop as city park !

This was Denver's first cemetery so the park is haunted. I even heard you can see a ghost floating around the pavilion some nights.... Beautiful park though! One of my favorites in Denver!

Casey Duncan

They close the park to vehicles on the first Sunday of each month; in addition, they block off the entrances for certain holidays and special events .

Amber Marie

One of the best parks in the city ! Beautiful, open and tons of people watching .

Anthony Duran

Love it's location, yet another great neighborhood and wonderful any time of day and weather. More discreet than other Denver park for sure.

Augustine V

Really nice park in a great neighborhood ... But there was an odd bunch of homeless people gathered around the main area on top of the hill

Go to the rose garden in the middle of the park and just sit. Breathe. And enjoy the peaceful mixture of nature and city noises.

some of the best grass in town . perfect for picnics or just a stroll.

Great running trail around the park and a very dog friendly atmosphere . Not as crowded or "spring break" feeling as Wash Park .

Emily Burke

Great spot for running! One lap around the park is about 1.4 miles and pretty flat. Dog and kid friendly !

In the 1800's cheeseman was denvers original grave yard until the city decided to make a park , and exumed all the bodys. The place is haunted. Go there at night.

Loop around park is about a little under 1.5 miles.

Beautiful park ... great for running and sports or my favorite, hooping.

Scoutmob

With less water vapor in the air at this altitude, the sky really is bluer in Colorado. Is the grass greener, too? Because it kind of seems like it.

Asli S

Great place to watch the sunset ????

Jacob Ford

Search for the Hula-Hooping Pedestrian Crossing sign. I promise you it’s real.

Jackie Flynt

The Walter Scott Cheesman Pavilion , dedicated in 1908, makes a fine dance floor .

Drive the speed limit on your way home from work. The park has a posted speed limit of 15mph. It's not a short cut, it's a park .
