June 10 Washington Park - Lawn Bowling Hut (Middle of Park). - Enter off Franklin St & E. Mississippi Ave, Denver, CO 80210

The quieter, more pastoral half of the park. The historic lawn bowling hut makes a charming focal point, while walking paths wind past Grasmere Lake where geese and reflections compete for your attention. Flower Gardens are in full bloom. Distant Victorian houses peek through the tree line, and on clear mornings the mountains provide a postcard-worthy horizon. Gentle summer light and dappled shade make this ideal for plein air work.

Parking: FREE – Parking lot across from the lawn bowling hut; free street parking available.  Restrooms: Porta-potty nearby or walk to the rec center.

Meet: In the parking lot across from the lawn bowling hut.
