City of Brest Park

If you drive up and down Colorado Boulevard (and who in Denver doesn’t??), chances are you’ve been past this park and never noticed it. It’s a little bit hidden from the road and there’s a fancy quiet neighborhood behind the park.
We were looking for a good place to watch the Glendale fireworks this year and thought we’d take the advice of other Unilocalers and try City of Brest. The great parts are there is plenty of parking (we parked at Central Christian Church) and plenty of nice grass to spread out. It didn’t feel crowded at all. The only downside was that you couldn’t see the low fireworks very well because of the trees. I will be back, though, because of the convenience!

Great for viewing fireworks on the 4^th of July. It would have been a 5 star experience if the sprinkler system had not come on. Where else can you sit in a park named Ciity of Brest Park and see a strip joint across the street?

In spite of being located near one of the worst intersections in Denver (S. Cherry Crk Dr. & Colorado Blvd., the City of Brest park is a welcome oasis. Great place to toss a disc, set up a v-​ball net, have picnic. Don’t let the location fool you. This locale is a very solid 3.

Hey Beavis, I just said «Brest». Huh, huh — huh.
The secret-​sauce of this park is it’s the greatest place to catch a killer Glendale fireworks show on the 4^th. I don’t think I’ve ever used the words «killer» and «Glendale» together unless there was a homicide involved.
The City of Brest Park is one of about 10 such sister parks in Denver. Brest, France took huge knocks during WWII, and kids from Denver saved up their pennies and nickels to help out.
Not unlike the disaster zone that is Colorado Blvd., the City of Brest park takes a pounding if you dare to venture to the east side, or hang on on the south where there’s the endless construction near S. Cheery Creek. As if it were a pissed off skunk, I avoid Colorado Blvd near here if at all possible.
Park on S. Garfield or S. Harrison to put you smack dab in the middle of the park, and be surprised that this park fails to suck.
