About City Park
City Park sits east of downtown Denver and takes its name from City Park, the city's largest urban park. The park is home to the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and it has long been one of the city's main gathering places for walks, boating and outdoor events. The neighborhood around it is mostly residential, with older homes, tree-lined streets and a handful of commercial strips where restaurants, bars and coffee shops cluster. Colfax Avenue, the long east-west corridor along the neighborhood's southern edge, is one of the main places to find local businesses. Our listings here follow the official neighborhood boundary from City and County of Denver open data.
