Great park! Open space, never crowded and it even has a little creek. I grew up playing in this park and I still love coming back after all these years. I suggest checking it out.

Amazing park! We love to come here to see the colors, to let the dogs run and let the children play! We love going to all of the local parks in Denver and this is one of the great ones! Thank you for making this available to all of us even during these hard times, thank you to the parks and rec and thank you to all

It is a multiuse park with a par 3 golf course, a basketball court and baseball fields, a playground, gym, an outdoor pool and a police station. My group meets there during the pandemic to talk and eat a light dinner. We have a mountain view, and it is walking distance from my home. I often put on my Derrick Rose shoes and bring my Cincinnati Bearcats basketball to shoot hoops.

Edit; 10/26.... The golf course is closed for renovations.....I havent played the par 3 course for over 12 years so will edit my when I do. The practice putting green was nice but the course looked busy. Nice walking trail around the park.

Had a park day with friends here on a Saturday. First time at Harvard Gluch. Beautiful park. So big and vast with not many main roads nearby. Flat surfaces to play football and spikeball on. Even included a basketball court, however the concrete was a bit damaged.

Love this place. Affordable, no pretense, low pressure play. Friendly staff and great easy to start a Sunday. Definately a gem.

Nice central city park. Some homeless guys had set up at the picnic tables so that there was no place to sit and enjoy the park.

Harvard gulch is a world class course. Its difficulty is matched only by its elegance as a natural work of art. It will please you just slightly more than it challenges your emotional stamina. The raw, obvious beauty of the rolling hills and sometimes-filled creek and lakebeds cloak its deep mysteries. Youre in for a treat.

Cool park! Golf course on part of it, it does have spaces to do slacklining so that is a plus. There are basketball courts, and a playground too.

Beautiful and spacious park, perfect for a walk with the dog, or cookout with the family. Great trails guide you effortlessly throughout the park while providing a very tranquil & peaceful environment.

Amazing little chip and putt par 3 near downtown denver. Super affordable ranging from 8 to 10 bucks for one person for 9 holes. You only need 3 to 4 clubs to really enjoy this place!1.putter2.7 or 9 iron( or a 3 or 4 iron if youre confident in hitting 80 to 100 yards with it bring it)3.chipping iron (54 to 56 degree loft for sand traps and hills)Is normally what I take with me with.

My 81 year old Dad, who is mobility challenged, wanted to golf one more time at the golf course he made his one and only hole in one. So we inquired and were thrilled with the response we received from the golf course. They made special accommodations for him and turned it into a special event that had everyone on the course buzzing. Thank you Harvard Gulch!

Beautiful park to go for a when its sunny out. There is also a 3 par golf course and swimming pool nearby. Also went to the first Spring into Summer event featuring a Bluegrass band which played in the park and was awesome! It was sponsored by Baity Realty, Denver Parks and Rec and Porter Hospital.

Harvard Gulch is a short par 3, around 900 yards or so. Its a good place to work on short game with medium to short irons, although you could probably do with just short irons. Powering the ball probably not a good idea...to easy to overshoot greens and lose a ball out of bounds. There are a few bunkers and even some trees thatll snag wayward shots. And if there arent players behind you, you often have time to play more than one ball.

This is a great park to jog in. There is a police station housed in the park, so if you need a SWAT officer or someone like that, just go to the gym building. Nice Creek and outdoor pool in the summer

Great par 3 course thats kept in good condition. Cheap price for a great time. Its very close quarters so you may hit someone with an errant shot, but overall an easy experience. Holes are very short (only a couple 100+)so dont even bring your full bag of clubs.

Review №36

Large varied park with lovely views of the mountains. This urban park lacks an off leash dog area however. These amenities are sorely lacking in Denver where the ones that are offered are extremely small and consist of a sandy lot without water, grass or trees. Places not even a dog would love (or like).

Ma
Review №37

I liked this place because its a very small a par 3 ( longest hole is 130yd and shortest is 65yd). One issue though is that the rules are really lax, so people can be rambunctious. I guess Im just a little uptight though. This course is fun and cheap, and a great place to work on your short game. Plus, its only 10 bucks!

I have a 2.5 year old and we walk to the playground at HG at least twice a week. They have equipment for little and big kids. My only complaint is there is no shade over the picnic tables, so I suggest bringing a blanket to sit on or if you plan to eat.

There is a small play ground with some nice views of the mountains. There is also a trail around the park with some physical activity stations dispersed throughout. There is a main part thats along S Logan where traffic is a little busier than some streets but overall nice park.

As a soccer player, this park is no good. Of their 8 goals, not one has had a net for years. Why even keep the goals? Otherwise, good park.

My favorite par 3 course by far! Pricing is amazing and if you are short on time but wanna swing the irons this is the place for you! The views on hole 8 rival that of private courses! Additionally the course is well maintained and employs a very friendly and knowledgable staff.
