The location is right next to Ruby Hill, a large Denver park with picnic areas, lighted baseball/softball fields, outdoor pool, and one of the best overlooks of downtown Denver. Denver residents may have in their youth used this park for sledding, tobogganing, and inter-tubing during the winter months. This may be a good location for parent’s to enjoy some quiet time while their children take a fencing class. For more information, here is the Denver Gov website link: http://www.denvergov.org/Southwest_Denver_Parks/template21279.asp

Denver Fencing Center is also nearby to Overland Golf Course if fencers or parents need to work on their golf swing.
