Union Square Park

Peaceful Retreat

The two small ponds anchoring the landscape are what really set Union Square Park apart from a typical neighborhood green space. There's something calming about water features, and these modest ponds add to the peaceful atmosphere of this 12.2-acre park in Lakewood, Colorado.

With its green landscape and winding pathways, it's a quiet space where you can relax and clear your mind.

Get Moving

If you're looking to stretch your legs, the park offers a 0.5-mile paved walking path that circles the ponds. It's nothing too ambitious - just right for a casual evening stroll or a morning jog to kick-start your day. The loop design means you can easily track your distance or just wander without worrying about getting lost.

Families will appreciate the thoughtfully designed playground that keeps the little ones entertained. Whether you've got toddlers or more adventurous grade-schoolers, there's equipment suited for various ages and energy levels.

Take a Break

Scattered around the park, you'll discover picnic tables well-suited for spreading out lunch or enjoying your morning coffee. There's something particularly satisfying about dining with a view of the ponds instead of staring at your kitchen wall.

The park also features touches of public art that add character to your visit. The Lakewood parks department clearly takes pride in the grounds - seasonal flowers dot the landscape, and the large field areas are kept in great shape year-round.

Natural Connections

If fishing is your thing, the ponds might offer a chance to cast a line (with the proper license, of course). Just remember to check current regulations, as catch and release rules may be in effect.

Dog owners, you're in luck - this is definitely a dog-friendly spot. The open fields provide plenty of space for your four-legged friends to burn off energy, and the paths are popular with the local dog-walking crowd.

You should know that there are no public restrooms available, so plan accordingly. The park welcomes visitors daily from 5AM to 10PM.
