Denver's new home for music |
2240 East Buchtel Boulevard (The Ritchie Center) Denver, CO 80208 United States +1 303 871 2336 |
Located in the massive Ritchie Center, a sprawling 70 million dollar mass of copper, gold, and sandstone on the University of Denver campus, this arena is home to the school's basketball and hockey teams. But sports are not the only draw here. The university has partnered with mega-promoter Universal Concerts. Now the venue, which can hold 8,000 spectators, has become the city's newest home for popular national artists and touring events. For a sports arena the sound quality is surprisingly good, and the steeply graded seating offers good views from every angle of the auditorium. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Loveliness and leisure |
South Downing St & East Kentucky Ave Denver, CO 80209 United States +1 303 964 2522 http://www.washpark.com |
A relic of Denver's City Beautiful period, this 155-acre park is home to two formal gardens—one of which is a replica of George Washington's garden at Mount Vernon. The park is always full of walkers, joggers and bicyclists taking advantage of the trails and roads that encompass and dissect the entire grounds. Fishing on the park's two lakes is popular and there are also greens for lawn bowling, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, plenty of space for volleyball games and a recreation center with an indoor pool.
