Signatures of neighbors, natives, and local historians, along with historical documents, proved the park was in fact dubbed “Sloan’s Lake.” In 2002, the city complied and the signs were later modified with the correct name: Sloan’s Lake Park. Even so, the City of Denver officially uses Sloan Lake for the name of the neighborhood. Dead fish on the shoreline of Sloan Lake on Aug. Kristy Richardson, state toxicologist, said if you suspect toxic algae is present in a waterway, do not let kids, pets or livestock near.
Beginning June 5, 2020: DPR is settting up nets in preparation to open all outdoor athletic courts (basketball, tennis, pickleball, futsal). The use of shared recreational equipment in parks will be allowed. Recreation activity must be conducted in groups of 10 or fewer, participants spaced at least six feet apart, face coverings worn if feasible, and appropriate sanitation and hygiene practices must be observed. Bike parks and skate parks are also open.
With the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop, Denver's park system connects people throughout the city with the great outdoors. Denver parks are an intersection of nature and urban environments; of historical design and innovation; of public and private partnerships; and of arts and culture.
The park system serves the city's diverse neighborhoods with expansive open green spaces, pocket parks, tree-lined streets, historic parkways and regional trails.

First, they have two amazing dogs that are friendly and make you feel much more calm. The use of technology was wonderful and made my visit much easier to understand. We worked together on a treatment plan and I was fully informed on all results and next steps. Very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend.
Dr. Bryant is a wonderful Dentist. He is very thorough, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. I would recommend anyone to go see him. He is very transparent and created a care plan that was best for my current situation. 5 stars!
Excellent all my questions were answered and all my dental needs were explained to me where i didnt not have any questions.... Thank you all so much South Shore Dental team... Tamela:)
Theyre just great. Friendly and fun. I have a legitimate fear of going to the dentist and they made it as enjoyable as possible.
Shelby was very welcoming along with the rest of the staff. They really do care about teeth. I love the latest technology they used for X-rays and showing me the health of each tooth. I would highly recommend this place.
From the moment I walked in, Shelby was so friendly! The process was smooth and everyone was so nice. This is the first time in my life where a visit to the dentist was actually enjoyable.
Great and clean office, easy parking, and very friendly and knowledgable staff! Great office for my husband and I to have found once we moved to Denver.
