Cranmer Park, Urban park in Denver, US.

Cranmer Park is an urban park in Denver featuring a prominent sundial installation as its centerpiece. The grounds include landscaped green areas, walking paths, and seating areas positioned throughout the space.

Cranmer Park is named for George E. Cranmer, longtime Manager of Denver Parks, who donated its first sundial in 1941. That dial was destroyed by vandals with dynamite in September 1965. A citywide fundraising effort led by the Denver Junior Chamber of Commerce paid for the replacement, installed in March 1966. The park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The park takes its name from George E. Cranmer, longtime Manager of Denver Parks, who donated the first sundial in 1941. After vandals destroyed it with dynamite in September 1965, the Denver Junior Chamber of Commerce led a citywide fundraising effort, and the replacement was installed in March 1966. The gnomon's base is inscribed for 39°43' north, with a polar chart of the zodiac and instructions for setting a clock by the shadow.

Cranmer Park occupies a flat site at 1,653 metres (5,423 feet) between East 1st and East 3rd Avenue, off Colorado Boulevard in the Hilltop neighbourhood. The sundial stands on the park's open ground, with its polar chart and inscriptions on the base readable from the surrounding paving. Approach from the Colorado Boulevard side; the terrain is level throughout.

The first sundial was donated in 1941 by George E. Cranmer, longtime Manager of Denver Parks and the park's namesake. Vandals exploded dynamite under it in September 1965, destroying it. A citywide fundraising effort led by the Denver Junior Chamber of Commerce paid for the replacement, installed in March 1966 and restored in 2018.
