About University Park
University Park is a neighborhood in south Denver, centered on the University of Denver, one of the city's best-known private universities. The campus gives the area a mix of student life, faculty housing and long-settled residential blocks. University Boulevard runs along the east side of the neighborhood and is a main route for shops and restaurants., and the nearby University of Denver light rail station connects the area to the rest of the city by train. Much of the neighborhood is quiet and tree-lined, with eating options concentrated along the busier streets rather than spread evenly through the blocks.
