Economic Benefits Today, Confluence Park is solid gold. This is as close to a beach as Denver gets, a lush oasis in the middle of the city, a place to hang out for the day or to use as a starting point for an adventure down the bike path or up the Greenway. On this morning, dog owners frolic with their pets in the middle of the Platte, while a kid in a kayak floats past undisturbed by the posse of new mothers running above, pushing their sleeping babies ahead in strollers; executives make deals on the Starbucks deck outside of REI overlooking the river Democratic Convention Website
