Roughly bounded by E. Thirteenth Ave., High St., E. Eighth Ave., and Franklin St., Denver, Colorado

run, playground

Boasting 80 acres of green space and paved paths, Cheesman Park is the perfect place for a stroller run, walk, or just somewhere to relax outside while still inside the city. There is plenty of parking and space to run and play around. In the center of the park is a beautiful pavilion that is fabled to be haunted. Definitely fun for the thrill-seekers in the family to try "ghost-hunting!" Cheesman is surrounded by plenty of other activities like the Denver Botanic Gardens, a variety of restaurants, hotels, and other attractions. As for bathrooms, there are port-o-potties near the playground and the pavilion, but none that are permanent.
