Reviews

As a John Denver fan, I figured I would love this place, but it exceeded expectations. The flowing water and manicured grounds provided by this little sanctuary are incredibly well conceived. The fall colors during peak week made the garden pop. Highly recommended during the first week of October for anyone looking to breathe in some peace and serenity, not just those who appreciate Denver's songwriting. Insightful quotes and beautiful scenery are a perfect way to reflect, regardless of your taste in music.

Just beautiful, peaceful and as John Denver fan very emotional.. went for John Denver week in October, you don’t need to buy tickets to get in, have been to Aspen twice and hope to go back again, this time I would go in late Spring. There are lots of beautiful things to see and do, I went for two weeks. Aspen is beautiful!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait

I have waited so long to visit this place and it did not disappoint.  Tranquil,  peaceful, serene.  Everything he would have wanted it to be. I was a bit nervous considering my achilles surgery and recovery.  I trained for this little trip. To see "Everything," there is a little climbing or stepping down on rocks, but you, for the most part, are on flat surfaces.

Hard to explain, but if you are a die-hard JD fan, you'd understand the peacefulness and serenity of the park. My only miss on this place is the limited number of lyrics etched in granite. The top 7 obvious ones, but so much more could be done!  Still a 5 star rating!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Beautiful and tranquil park alongside the river, right near downtown Aspen. Clean and well designed, nice tribute to John Denver. Very peaceful

This is such a wonderful place. We're big fans of John Denver, but even those unfamiliar or those who hate his music can appreciate the beauty of this place. Running water, well tended plants and landscape. It was amazing.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo

Beautiful little memorial park honoring John Denver and his music, sponsored by the City of Aspen.  Very serene and pleasant to sit and reflect or walk around.

Although small, I'd say this park is worth a visit while in Aspen. It is a vfery serene and inspiring park. We enjoyed the peace and quiet as well as a family  sing along of Annie's Song and Sunshine on my Shoulders. The views of the river and the mountains are spectacular. There is a few street parking spaces, but there's also a public parking garage.
