Neighborhood Focus: Berkeley

Located on the Northwest side of Denver, the Berkeley neighborhood contains a diverse mix of businesses and architecture, with a history dating back to the late-1800s, when streetcars were the popular mode of transportation. Today, it retains its old-town vibe with unique shops, eateries, art walks, and more.

Unique Features

Let your pups romp free at the off-leash Berkeley Dog Park, which has fenced options for both large and small dogs. Cat lovers need not despair, as Denver’s first Cat Cafe is a popular destination to spend time with, or even adopt, a furry friend. For old-style amusement park fun, visit Lakeside and ride the wooden roller coaster if you dare. The Cesar Chavez Park offers a playground for kids, conveniently located near popular caffeine outposts Allegro and Downpours for the adults.
