Denver's RTD system includes a program called Art-n-Transit, where commissioned statues, murals, and art installations are included at over 30 light rail and bus stations in the Denver metro area. The Dayton light rail station features a piece entitled Windswept, created by Christopher Weed and dedicated in 2006. Windswept is the largest and most visible of all of the Art-n-Transit installations, visible not only from the parking lot and nearby streets, but even from the opposite side of I-225 (which the station is accessible from). Windswept consists of a series of steel poles of varying heights, topped with red ceramic balls, that line the pedestrian bridges leading up to the light rail platforms. As visitors walk along the bridges, the art seems to dip and sway with them in an optical illusion conveying movement.

Denver's RTD system includes a program called Art-n-Transit, where commissioned statues, murals, and art installations are included at over 30 light rail and bus stations in the Denver metro area. The Orchard light rail station features a piece entitled Orchard Memory, or the Orchard Station Orchard, created by Wopu Holup and dedicated in 2006. Orchard Memory is subtle and easy to miss; it consists of two separate parts. The first, a small orchard of fruit trees planted to surround the parking area and bus stations, could be taken as part of the natural surroundings of the area. The main part of the installation is a series of stamps in the concrete displaying ever growing tree leaves, and stainless steel birds perched on the safety fence alone the sidewalk. Orchard Memory was created to memorialize the apple orchards that once existed where the station now stands.

When walking past Broomfield Depot Museum in Zang Spur Park, its hard to miss the gravestone that is decorated with flowers and gifts. The headstone belongs to a stray dog named Shep and it reads, “Part Shepherd, Mostly Affection”. In 1950, when Shep was a puppy, workers constructing the Boulder-Denver Turnpike tollbooths found him and took him under their wing. Due his loving and affectionate nature, he was loved not just by workers at the tollbooth but even by passersby. Soon he was considered the unofficial mascot for Colorado Department of Transportation. After his death in 1964, his remains were buried near the tollbooth which was later moved to Zang Spur Park in 2009.

The Pop Jet Fountain is the perfect spring of water to walk through during those hot days of summer. It is located right on the Pearl Street Mall and it's only in use (obviously) during the summer. During that time, you'll see mostly kids jumping around and splashing about, however, if it's hot enough, you'll also see adults strolling leisurely through the jets.
