Named for the con­flu­ence of Cher­ry Creek and the South Plat­te Riv­er, Con­flu­ence Park is a sum­mer­time spot for many of Den­ver’s res­i­dents. Cool off in the riv­er, or bring a kayak or inner tube for the pur­pose built rapids near REI. The park is also acces­si­ble via the Cher­ry Creek or Plat­te bike trails.
