The Platt Park Neighborhood is almost an extension of Washington Park. It lies just south of Washington Park on the other side of I-25 and to the west of the DU area. In the last few years, Platt Park has become well known for its pleasant shopping atmosphere and fine restaurants on Old South Pearl Street. The neighborhood is rich with sprawling mature trees, bungalows, Victorians, and pop tops. In recent years, we have seen some scraper homes being replaced with new-construction homes and duplexes. The Old South Pearl Street Business District in the heart of Platt Park, brightly lit at night by black street lamps reminiscent of old-fashioned gas lamps, is the drawing card of the neighborhood. All establishments are busy throughout the week and jammed on Friday and Saturday nights. Interstate-25 is just a stone’s throw away from Old Pearl Street and residents can hop on the Light Rail at the Louisiana-Park Light Rail Station.
On sunny spring and summer mornings, residents stroll the street with family and friends while shopping at the famous Farmers Market. Decker Library, a branch of the Denver Public Library, is a few blocks away, snug up against James H. Platt Park. And if you’ve got some little ones in elementary school, you can enroll them in the McKinley-Thatcher Elementary School, whose motto is “Soaring into Literacy”. Platt Park is popular because of its beautiful homes, old and new, and its close community feel.
