"Cherry Creek State Park is a full outdoor recreation wonderland just a few minutes from downtown Denver. At the center of the park is a large reservoir and marina where visitors can engage in all manner of boating and fishing activities. There’s also some 35 miles of trails for biking and hiking."

"Enjoy boating, fishing, jet skiing, sailboarding, and swimming at Cherry Creek State Park. The sandy beach has a roped-off swimming area, and bathrooms at the beach for convenience. Parents should note that the beaches don’t have lifeguards on duty, so kids must be supervised at all time."

"Cherry Creek State Park, located in south Denver, is a natural prairie and wetland. The park is home to an 880-acre reservoir, a fun place to have a beach day!. Dock your boat at the boathouse or rent jet skis in the summer months."

"Rabbi Raymond Zwerin, one of the original founders of Babi Yar Park, walks through two very large inscribed granite gates at the entrance to the park in Denver near the intersection of Yale Ave and Havana on Aug. 4, 2011. Babi Yar Park memorializes the massacre of 200,000 people — mostly Jews — in the Babi Yar Ravine in Kiev Ukraine USSR between Sept. 29, 1941, and Nov. 6, 1943, in the hands of the Nazis during World War II. Named after a Ukrainian massacre site, Babi Yar opened in 1982 to commemorate the Holocaust with some of Denver’s most striking, minimalist public art and design elements."

"Ted Van Orman launches his bike off a ramp while doing a test run at the new Ruby Hill Bike Park in Denver, Colorado on May 31, 2016. The full extent of this hilltop gem’s improvements will not be visible for another year or two, but already a new $1 million mountain bike track and playground have joined what Denver parks officials have called one of the city’s most underused public spaces. Sitting next to the South Platte River Greenway, the 360-degree views and amenities (including a “Rail Yard” snowboard terrain park) make Ruby Hill Park one of Denver’s most versatile."

"This is the first outpost of the popular New York eatery of the same name, which drew its inspiration from the traditional butcher guilds of Italy that oversaw quality of meats. It fulfills its steakhouse creds with a menu that includes classic filet mignon, New York Strip and bone-in rib steak. There's also fresh pasta with Porterhouse and baked lasagna with filet meatballs."

"Outstanding wine list and hospitality from servers and sommelier. Tasteful interior design and decor made for a nice atmosphere, but the awful pop music ..."

"This Speer neighborhood restaurant may be more than halfway into its fourth decade, but based on the 30-minute-plus wait you’re likely to face on any given night, it’s got another four in it (not to mention a new-ish sibling in Littleton, attached to Carboy winery, that opened in 2016). A maze-like floor plan and stained-glass windows give it a charming, well-worn quality, while the menu marries a classic oyster bar with a neighborhood Italian joint. Once you’ve had your fill of bivalves—raw on the half-shell or char-grilled and topped with garlic, butter, and Pecorino cheese (among other options)—you can move onto pizzas and pastas, all of which are made from scratch daily."

"Sixth Ave., is another prime choice, with Yelpers giving the bar and Italian eatery, which is known for its seafood and wine, 4.5 stars out of 993 reviews."

"Featuring only Colorado artists, the Cherry Creek Art Gallery is a space where you can go and appreciate (and support!) local artists. Most of the styles are of Colorado scenery but you can also enjoy some contemporary pieces as well."

"One of the most popular contemporary galleries in Denver, this space gives artists—both local and national—a place to get creative. If you get a chance, we recommend stopping by during one of their exciting opening receptions to enjoy the art among other art lovers."
