This park is an absolute delight to visit! It is full of shade all around. Plenty for the kids to play and explore!

Cute playground, not a ton to do for little crawling babies but a dream playground for kids!

We love this park so much. Driving east from Denver, it is perfectly timed for us for a play break. Playground has several distinct areas that all have unique features, keeping our kiddo entertained for hours (though we usually can't stay as long as she'd like). The giant slide is super cool and only slightly terrifying for adults. Kids seem to love it.

I'd say this is the best park in town. Lots of different play structures with slides, swings, jungle gyms, sand box and so on. It's the best park to make friends for toddlers too! Suitable for all ages from infant to school age children. I love the swing that my toddler and me can get on together face to face. It has lots of shade around the play ground. Really fun place!

Amazing! There's a hill to climb and the steps are large tires from earth moving equipment. The dinosaur theme is cool without being overbearing. The usual playground equipment and lots of room for running around. Several picnic shelters and BBQ grills. Very well maintained. The park is in the sports complex which features baseball diamonds and other playing fields.
