PH- Cheesman Park

Playground Hopping

  Cheesman Park is definitely a great picnic park. It's at a good location and should be walkable from most areas in Denver, and it's much larger than Congress Park with more area to explore. Climb, swing, and dig in the sand at the playground surrounded by trees and many paths, and then walk over to the fountains and Pavilion area. There are plenty of spots in the grassy fields to set out a blanket, put out some books and balls, and enjoy sandwiches and strawberries. 

  On a visit recently with my little one I realized that he was confused about not being able to swim in  these fountains like the fountains that we did last week on 29th Street. Oh, well, I suppose that it was bound to happen! At least we got it out and the concrete surrounding the fountains was high enough that he couldn't jump right in anyways (because he would have, as he sure was trying!).
