Washington Park
Built in 1899, the 162-acre Washington Park,
with Smith and Grasmere lakes each ending the long
grassy meadow, is a local recreational haven. The
three-story red brick 1926 South High School, complete
with griffins perched on its roof, overlooks Washington
Park from the southeast corner. From I-25 to Cherry
Creek and from University Boulevard to Downing Street,
the neighborhood is rich with entertainment, like
the cluster of small shops and restaurants on South
Gaylord and South Pearl Streets.
