Discover Wheat Ridge just minutes from Denver
A mere 10-minute drive northwest of downtown Denver, Wheat Ridge offers a unique blend of history, culture, contemporary shopping centers, and delightful eateries. Its downtown area is a diverse blend of local businesses, restaurants, and shops, crafting a charming small-town vibe, enriched by authentic traditions and locally-produced goods.
Wheat Ridge prides itself on its extensive network of more than 20 parks, equestrian trails, and public open spaces. It invites cyclists and walkers to explore its Wheat Ridge Green Belt trail system. This includes over 300 acres of open space and the 6.5-mile paved Clear Creek Trail. Additionally, bird enthusiasts will find Bass Lake Boardwalk a haven, with its protected wetlands home to over 100 species of migratory birds.
Positioned on Wheat Ridge's eastern fringe, the historic Lakeside Amusement Park is a treasure trove of vintage fun. Established in the 1900s, its wooden roller coaster, Ferris wheel, and unique concession architecture offer an entertainment experience like no other, making it a beloved community institution.
Thanks to Wheat Ridge's close proximity to downtown Denver, residents enjoy short commutes and easy access to key locations like Coors Field, Mile High Stadium, the historic Olde Town in Arvada, and RTD's light rail G line.
