🏟️ Denver Sports Recap: Last Week’s Highlights

🏀 Nuggets Up 2–1 in the Series
The Nuggets are flexing in the playoffs. Jokic doing MVP things. Jamal Murray heating up. Game 3 was a statement — Game 4 is looking spicy.

⚾ Rockies Fall Short Against the Brewers
Tough series, but bright spots include a stellar bullpen showing and a couple of deep homers. It’s early, but the fan energy is strong at Coors Field.

🏈 Broncos Draft QB1!
It’s official: Denver drafted a new franchise quarterback in the first round. The city’s buzzing. Jerseys are already flying off the shelves.

📍 Neighborhood of the Week: Central Park

Family-friendly, fresh, and full of green space.
Central Park is ideal if you’re into:


👟 Morning runs or stroller strolls on miles of trails
🌳 Weekend farmer’s markets + outdoor concerts
🏘️ Newer builds, rooftop patios, and room to grow

It’s one of Denver’s most thoughtfully planned neighborhoods — with parks on every corner and community vibes that are hard to beat. Whether you're raising kids or raising your wine standards, Central Park delivers.
