As you’ll see below, Arapaho Park is the perfect spot for your next family outing, including the older kids and grandparents.

Unique Features of Arapaho Park

While we’ve seen structures similar (check out these 14 tallest slides in Colorado!), it is definitely unique for the area. The structure boasts two tall covered slides, one steep open slide and a tunnel off of the highest level!

Arapaho Park has a variety of musical instruments from Freenotes Harmony Park allowing more than one child to play at a time. We love features like this added to a playground for both sensory purposes and inclusiveness.

A couple other favorite, unique features are shown below. The “pogo stick” actually bounces and my daughter loved jumping up and down on it. The second picture shows a fun word picture game that kids can try figuring out on the way up to the slides. Table + spoon = tablespoon! Cat + R + Pillar = Caterpillar!
