DENVER — A beloved Denver park is celebrating a milestone on Wednesday. For almost 125 years, Washington Park — or Wash Park — has meant many things to many people. “It’s one of those places where families come together for reunions, where people come to recreate, to play volleyball, to run, to walk. It’s a park that lives in the minds and hearts of people from all over the city,” said Denver Parks and Recreation Executive Director Jolon Clark.
'We would do crazy things like get pieces of liver from a grocer, tie a string around them, throw them out in the lake and pull crawdads out of the lake, put them in our pocket, and then our mother would find them later.'Barton continues to connect with this beloved space by painting scenes from the park.“I paint the lily pond. You know, the passing of the light at the end of the day,” said Barton. “The more you know about something, the more you appreciate it.
