On our trip to Colorado this summer, we stayed a few minutes away from Sloan’s Lake Park in Denver. As the second largest park in Denver, the 177 acre sprawling park with the largest lake beckoned. The beautiful Rocky Mountains frame the lake with a nearly-3-mile paved path circling the lake for walking, jogging or biking. Boating is allowed on the lake if you bring your own boat. Many people take advantage of this and indeed come with boats to enjoy the lake.

When we visited, a few of the parking lots were closed due to covid19. The parking lot by the playground was open so that is where we parked. The kids spent time at the playground and we enjoyed a magnificent view of sunset over the lake. Near the playground are picnic tables scattered around and a basketball court right there. There are also tennis courts, baseball fields and soccer fields at the park.
