Confluence Park - City of Denver

Where UPRR Moffat Sub/ BNSF Brush Sub/BNSF Front Range Sub; BNSF/UP Joint Line (Colorado Springs/PIKEs Peak Sub) all Come together. BNSF Globeville & Rennick Yards are nearby as is UPRR North Yard(side by side with Rennick).

South Platte River goes right through it. Everything going north-south in Colorado has to go through here. Think of it as the south end of the narrow part of the narrow part in an hour glass. The north end of the narrowpart, Utah Junction, is not so accessable.

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west

Train Watching in Denver

I have two small children and was looking for a place where I can let them play while I watch BNSF trains.  I would prefer a park.  If anyone could give some information I would greatly appricate it.
