Have you been enjoying this unusually warm winter? With temperatures staying in the 60s all through February, it’s a great time to get outside for some fresh air or exercise. At The Residences, you can walk around Cherry Creek North, or, if you want more open space, you’re in luck. Some of Denver’s best parks and open spaces are just minutes away. ​

Denver Parks Offer Plenty of Options ​

Denver has 2,500 acres of parks and parkways you can enjoy year-round. If we get some spring snow, try nordic skiing, snowshoeing, or sledding. When it’s warm, you can go for a jog, have a picnic, or play volleyball with friends. Some of the most popular parks are Washington Park (Wash Park), City Park, and Cheeseman Park. ​

 Take an Adventure Out of the City

When you think about getting out of the city, you might picture a drive up I-70 to Summit County. But if you want to stay closer to home, there are plenty of open spaces and state parks nearby. On warm spring days, you can explore the trails at Cherry Creek State Park or Chatfield State Park. Golden Gate State Park, just outside Golden, is great for snowshoeing close to Denver. Red Rocks is another spot you might not consider unless you’re going to a concert, but it’s also a great place for exercise and amazing views. You can hike and explore the trails around the amphitheater. ​

We’ll see what March brings, since it’s usually our snowiest month. If you’re feeling ready for spring and want to get outside without going far, there are plenty of options just minutes from your door at The Residences at Fillmore Plaza. ​
