Central Park Events for September

Some people think that when summer is over, all the fun is over.   In Central Park, they’re just getting started again!  Particularly in Denver, Colorado, the residents here know how to maximize the amazing weather they have, truly all year long.  The pools may be closed, and school might be back in session, but swimming with friends simply scratches the surface of what Central Park as a community has to offer.

Central Park events are for everyone.  Whether you’re an individual, a couple or a family and whether you’re young, old or somewhere in between, there is always something to do.  People will be out and about all the time, in the parks, on their blocks and up at the many retail areas and restaurants throughout the community.    

For what’s happening in Central Park, there are a million resources one can check, like the many informational websites online, their monthly newspaper called “The Front Porch”, their neighborhood magazine, the amazing new visitor’s center in the Conservatory Green area north of I-70 (did I mention they grow fruits and vegetables there and donate all the food to the lower income housing?!), etc.   Events are organized keeping easy planning in mind.
