Many major cities are located on rivers - big or small. The South Platte River isn't particularly mighty at this point of the country, but it does pick up a little volume at the point where Cherry Creek runs into it. That geographic point has been turned into a park area by the wise city leaders of Denver - Confluence Park. Supposedly, the city was founded there - which makes some sense.
It was a hot day when we were there in May - plenty of dogs were frolicking in the water in an attempt to cool off, and their owners didn't mind standing in the river either. It's surrounded by some nice parkland, and it is convenient to a variety of attractions in the area.
