The rugby stadium is home to the city's nationally ranked and 2011 D1 Champion[15] rugby team known as the Glendale Raptors [16] and the Women's Premier Leagues latest members, the Glendale Lady Raptors.

Today Four Mile Historic Park houses a museum, summer camp, and events center. The park is situated just outside Glendale's city limits, in the Washington Virginia Vale neighborhood of Denver.[19] Green Spaces
EntertainmentIn the 1970s, Glendale was the entertainment and night life center of metropolitan Denver.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} The Glendale of that era is often compared to Denver's LoDo neighborhood today.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} As an indication of its former popularity, at one point Glendale had more than 50 tavern licenses.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} Glendale civic leaders hope to restore this reputation and atmosphere in the coming years through projects such as an improved water front.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} Mayor Pro-Tem Mike Dunafon leads the effort to restore reputation and atmosphere by example—managing Shotgun Willie's, the self-proclaimed "best strip club in Denver", despite being in Glendale. Glendale was formerly home to Celebrity Sports Center, a local landmark and family activity center established by Walt Disney and other celebrity investors. The landmark closed in 1994 to the disappointment of many.[20] The city of Glendale hosts an elaborate 4 July fireworks show each year.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} The city's population swells to nearly 50,000 during the show.{{Citation needed|date=February 2010}} The city also sponsors free outdoor movies in the Infinity Park stadium.
