Daniels Park
Whether approaching from Interstate 25 through Castle Pines or from U.S. 85 through Sedalia, you might be surprised by what you find at Daniels Park.
You might be surprised to quickly rise above the neighborhood on one side, the golf course on the other, and find yourself upon the scenic ridge that Daniels Park Road spans.
It spans the site of what was known as one of Colorado’s early territorial roads. It was conveniently situated where the eye could spot friend or foe approaching from afar.
The eye still sees seemingly forever.
A master plan for the park owned and managed by the city of Denver celebrated “one of the most expansive vistas in Colorado.”
Indeed, those who know Daniels Park know it to be the best place to catch the sun set over the mountains seen as far south as Pikes Peak, Mount Blue Sky and Longs Peak to the north.
If you don’t know Daniels Park, you might find another surprise: bison. The herd has roamed here for decades — members of the same herd the city of Denver previously established at Genesee Park.
