Riverfront Park

Another great neighborhood within walking distance of Coors Field is the Riverfront neighborhood. When Coors Field opened in 1998, the Riverfront Park area was mostly open land and rail road tracks. It’s now a beautiful neighborhood with great restaurants (Zengo’s, McLaughlin’s Pub and Ink! Coffee), retail shops (Pet Fitters, RitaB Salon, Little Raven Vineyards), a beautiful park and it’s located in the heart of the city. Riverfront Park continues to grow and evolve, and with the completion of Glass House , is even changing the skyline of downtown Denver. Commons Park is a 20-acre green space that fronts the Platte River and serves as the counterpart to Civic Center Park at the other end of downtown. With access to Commons Park, Confluence Park, the Cherry Creek bike, the Platte River and REI within easy walking distance, residents can easily walk out their front door to go biking, jogging, rollerblading, kayaking or just relax and enjoy a picnic in the park. It’s like having the best of both worlds!

Riverfront Park also offers many events such as the Riverfront Fashion Show series during the summer, which is a must attend event! And the Museum of Contemporary Art will finally be opening in their new location at the end of this month. The MCA building was designed by David Adjaye, one of the leading architects in the world today and will be a gorgeous addition to the Riverfront Park neighborhood!

Riverfront Park is bordered by Cherry Creek, 20^th Street, the consolidated Main Line and Commons Park. Just walk across the Millenium Bridge and you’re at Union Station and Lodo and just a short walk to Coors Field . The Highland Bridge opened this summer and it unites the Highland Neighborhood on the west side of I-25 with Riverfront Park and other major attractions downtown such as Coors Field, the Pepsi Center and Lodo.
