Confluence Park lies at the joining of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River. It’s one of Denver’s most urban parks, sitting at the edge of Lower Downtown. Combined with neighboring parks Commons, City of Cuernavaca Park, Centennial, Fishback, and Gates Crescent, there are lots of things to do within walking distance of Confluence.

There are baseball and soccer fields, a dog park, and riverside trails.
