Bible Park

Recreational Oasis

Tucked into southeast Denver, Bible Park covers 85.3 acres of urban greenery that offers a nice escape from city life. Regardless of whether you're looking to break a sweat or just unwind, this spacious park has a little something for everyone.

Named after James A. Bible and managed by Denver Parks and Recreation, you can enjoy this green getaway daily from 5AM to 11PM.

Trail Network

Lace up those sneakers! The park's network of well-maintained trails is good for morning jogs, afternoon strolls, or bike rides. The 1.5-mile main trail loops through the park, offering a pleasant route that won't leave you gasping for air.

The mostly flat terrain makes these paths accessible no matter your fitness level. Beyond the paved paths, dirt trails weave through for those who prefer the crunch of earth beneath their feet. And if you're feeling adventurous, the park connects to the Highline Canal Trail, giving you even more ground to cover.

Athletic Facilities

Sports enthusiasts will appreciate Bible Park's athletic options. You'll find baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, and a basketball court scattered throughout the grounds. Regardless of whether you're organizing a league game or just shooting hoops with friends, there's space for your sport of choice.

The soccer fields provide plenty of room to practice those penalty kicks, while the tennis courts are notably well-maintained - a favorite among local players looking for a good match.

Children's Play Area

The modern playground, renovated in 2021, is a highlight for children. The renovation brought in cool new features like towering play structures and an impressive net climbing feature called the "Crab Trap" that's sure to challenge little adventurers.

The playground thoughtfully includes an inclusive merry-go-round, a turf-covered hill for tumbling down, and swings for kids of all ages - including accessible options. There's even a separate area designed specifically for toddlers, ensuring the tiniest visitors have their own safe space to explore.

Natural Features

Need a moment of peace? The park's blend of manicured lawns and natural vegetation offers an excellent backdrop. A gentle creek meanders through part of the park, creating a tranquil spot to read a book or enjoy a sandwich on a sunny afternoon.

Matured trees cast welcome shadows during Colorado's sunny days, creating natural air conditioning when the temperature climbs. Keep your eyes peeled for local birds and, if you're lucky, you might spot the neighborhood-famous wild turkey that calls the park home.

Fitness Amenities

Bible Park has exercise stations dotted along the trails. These outdoor fitness stops include elliptical machines, suspended walking apparatus, and various equipment for arm and leg workouts - ideal for mixing up your routine with some strength training.

Younger riders will get a kick out of the pump track, specially designed for kids with scooters and small bikes to practice their skills.

Picnic Areas

Hungry after all that activity? Picnic tables are scattered around the park, some nestled under shady trees and others basking in open sunshine. While there's only one pavilion, you'll discover plenty of individual tables to claim for your outdoor meal.

Fancy some grilled treats? Several BBQ grills stand ready for your cookout needs, making Bible Park an ideal spot for everything from casual family dinners to birthday celebrations.

Community Space

Bible Park is a popular neighborhood gathering place. The layout accommodates community events, family outings, and solo recreation. Located within a residential area, it's convenient for locals and also attracts visitors from other parts of Denver.

Four-legged friends are welcome too! Many visitors bring their leashed dogs to enjoy the open spaces and trails. The park provides waste bags and disposal bins, making it easy to keep this shared space clean and enjoyable for everyone.
