Cheesman Park is Denver's home for beautiful treelined paths and large open space. Spanning almost 5 blocks, it's great for strolling along bench-lined sidewalks, or relaxing in the grass. It has a rich history, as it started in 1858 as a cemetery. Although it's officially been a park for over a century now, there are still ghost stories from time to time, reminding us of it's rich history.
