Make room for the outdoors.
Washington Park, commonly called Wash Park, anchors a south-central Denver area with broad parkland, gardens, water features, and paths for everyday recreation. Visit Denver pairs the park with nearby South Pearl Street and South Gaylord Street, two commercial districts known for restaurants, shops, seasonal markets, and neighborhood events. The result is a community where park time and local businesses are closely linked, with several distinct micro-areas rather than one uniform center.
Wash Park is the familiar name for Washington Park. South Gaylord and nearby South Pearl are separate shopping and dining destinations, not one district.
