Join AARP Colorado for NeighborWalks. Enjoy guided walks through some of Denver’s most beautiful and interesting neighborhoods. Come meet others in your community, learn the history and join the fun. Walks will be led by a local historian.
The goal of NeighborWalks is to get more people walking every day for health, transportation, environment, and community.
NeighborWalks take place in neighborhoods around Denver and is designed to be inclusive and to help Denver residents explore the city’s diverse neighborhoods, learn about the local history and celebrate livability and community for all ages. The walks are themed, educational and social events that bring neighbors together to explore neighborhoods and enjoy the cities walking and pedestrian infrastructure, historic and cultural districts, parks and public spaces.
Check out the walks we have planned for you in September, register for one or all of them!

Elitch’s and Lakeside once were central to the independent town of Berkeley. In the process, we discover where Elvis sang in a church choir while we walk down the highly popular Tennyson Terrace.
