Conveniently located next to the Denver Botanic Gardens, Congress Park is a park in the neighborhood of, you guessed it, Congress Park! It is a spacious area with multiple athletic fields, a playground, tennis courts, a picnic area, and a public outdoor pool. The large grassy area is perfect for running around, laying in the sun, or having a picnic. This park is a fairly good size, so if you want to have access to restrooms make sure you park on the side opposite of Josephine Street, otherwise, the only bathroom available close will be a port o potty. Whether you are kicking a soccer ball around, playing tennis, or swimming laps, Congress Park is a great spot to get moving.
