Hampden Heights is built around the 33 acre Hampden Heights park which includes playgrounds, open spaces, baseball and soccer fields. Trails run through the neighborhood that connect to nearby Cherry Creek State Park and the Highline Canal. Within the park is the Hampden Heights Swim and Tennis Club – a privately owned club that offers memberships for purchase to nearby residents.

This diverse neighborhood is one of the friendliest in Denver. You can often meet neighbors walking their dogs along the expansive trails. There are numerous events throughout the year hosted by the Hampden Heights Community Association including an Easter Egg Hunt, 4th of July party at the pool and a Turkey Trot 5k run/walk through the neighborhood.
