Union Square
By Jessica Carcoana · Updated September 2026
Condominium and townhome plats recorded from the late 1970s onward fill this Union Boulevard pocket, with detached houses on the smaller lots at its edges. Ten acre Union Square Park at 12200 West 2nd Place holds half a mile of paved path, a pond, a playground, and On the Alert, a bronze cougar Rosetta installed in 2000. Union Ridge Park at 500 Zang Street adds a 0.9 mile loop and a sledding hill. The RTD W Line Federal Center Station is a short walk east on Union Boulevard, one ride from Denver Union Station, and US 6 and West Alameda Avenue sit about half a mile north and south.
