West Wash Park
West Washington Park (better known as West Wash Park) is bordered on the east by Downing/Washington Park, on the west by South Broadway, the north by Alameda and on the south side by Interstate 25.
West Wash Park is the ‘step child’ of one of Denver’s most popular neighborhoods, Wash Park. Washington Park, or as the locals call it, Wash Park, is Central Denver’s most popular and utilized public park facilities. It’s proximity to downtown, Denver University, Cherry Creek and I-25, make it the logical choice for any urbanite looking for some green grass, running trail or paddle boat lake.
While West Wash Park can’t boast the same affluent numbers that Wash Park is able to do, it still ranks as one of Denver’s most popular and sought after neighborhoods. With prices skyrocketing across the park, many have chosen recently to buy an older Denver Square in West Wash Park and either scrape and rebuild or ‘pop the top’ to update and enlarge to modern living standards.
Eats, Drinks and More in West Wash Park
Whether you are looking for a neighborhood watering hole, or the best Italian food in all of Denver, West Wash Park is the place for you! Starting with breakfast in the morning at either Luciles on south Logan or the Buffalo Doughboy Bakery all the way to dinner at Carmines On Penn (my favorite restaurant in all of Denver), West Wash Park has something for everyone.
For a drink and some sports check out the Candle Light Tavern on south Pearl, or head over to Ogden Street South for a little karaoke on the weekends. Of course if you are a cyclist (this is after all written by the ‘bike racing realtor’), you can’t miss The Handle Bar and Grill. This is really a bicycle racing museum that doubles as a bar and grill!
