Confluence Park, Recreational park at Cherry Creek and South Platte River intersection in Denver, Colorado.

Confluence Park lies at the meeting of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River in Denver's LoDo district. Concrete trails run along the water, with some grassy areas, river overlooks and benches, and two pedestrian bridges cross the South Platte and Cherry Creek. Across from the R.E.I. flagship store, the river's eastern edge forms a kayak run.

In May 1858 William Greeneberry Russell's party searched for gold at the junction of Cherry Creek and the South Platte and found none there, but struck "good diggings" at the mouth of Little Dry Creek about four miles south. That discovery set off the Colorado Gold Rush, and the encampment became Denver. Part of the park site later held an Xcel Energy substation, moved to allow the park's expansion.

The name comes from where the two rivers meet, and locals use the paths and grassy spots throughout the day. People walk, jog, and watch the water as part of their regular routine.

Concrete trails link the two riverbanks, with two pedestrian bridges crossing the South Platte and Cherry Creek. The Platte Valley Trolley starts here and runs along the west bank from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, and on all Denver Broncos home game days. The kayak run sits on the eastern edge of the South Platte, across from the R.E.I. flagship store.

A vintage trolley car operates from here during summer and on certain sports game days, offering riders a different view of the area. This nostalgic transport option adds character to the visit and attracts both visitors and local fans.
