Sloan's Lake Neighborhood in Denver (The Highlands)

Sloan's Lake is also considered by many to be the southern part of The Highlands neighborhood, bordered on the south by Colfax, Sheridan Blvd. to the West, 29th St. and Federal Blvd. to the east. At 177 acres, Sloan's Lake Park is the second largest park in the Denver metro area, offering boating, fishing and water sports in the warmer months, and tennis courts, basketball courts, and trails for biking and jogging year-round. The park also features extraordinary views of both Downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains.
