Morse Park
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Morse Park covers the blocks north of Colfax Avenue around Carl G. Morse Park, a city park on West 20th Avenue near Wadsworth Boulevard. Houses went up between 1955 and 1980, single-family on lots of an eighth to a quarter acre, and dues, where any exist, stay under $30 a month. Crown Hill Park, a Jefferson County open space with a lake and a loop trail, is about a mile northwest across the Wheat Ridge line, and Slater Elementary is half a mile north on West 25th Avenue. The W Line platform at Lakewood Wadsworth is under a mile south, and West 26th Avenue and Wadsworth Boulevard reach US-6 in roughly five minutes.
