18 New Colorado Playgrounds Built in 2021!

I am so excited to share this list of new Colorado playgrounds built in past year! There are themed playgrounds, inclusive playgrounds, natural playgrounds and immense fun to be had by the whole family. Colorado Parks and Recreation, individual cities and towns, and Great Outdoors Colorado continue to amaze us with the commitment to providing places for families to play together.

**I know there are parks we’ve missed so if there is a new playground near you, please help us by adding it in the comments below.

18 – City Park

Address: 1700 York St, Denver, CO 80205

The beloved playground in City Park was recently renovated with the castle theme continued in the new design. The tall castle tower and giant blue dragon are eye-catching as you arrive and your children will love all of the extra amenities. There is a swing large enough to hold a full wheelchair and a wavy sidewalk for scooter fun!

Through a volunteer community build, Country Fields Park was updated with new equipment, more shade cover and adorable butterfly steps. There are structures for ages two to five and another for five to twelve with extras such as swings, spinners and monkey bars.

15 – Chautauqua Park

Address: Baseline Rd & 9th St, Boulder, CO 80302

The new playground at Chautauqua feels like the perfect representation of Boulder. Natural colors, a climbable “6th Flatiron” and a large playhouse built by a local girl scout troop provide a wonderful place to play. A favorite feature of this shade-covered playground was the “climbing tree” saved from the previous playground.

12 – Fairmount Park

Address: 5222 Quaker St, Golden, CO 80403

So many new features can be found at Fairmount Park! There is a wheelchair accessible playhouse, slide wide enough for you and your friends, and a low-entry disc swing. My daughters played quite the game of tag and could’ve stayed there all day long!

11 – Robinson Park

Address: 200 Fairfax St, Denver, CO 80220

The update of Robinson Park opened on Halloween – can you tell? 🙂 My police officer and little witch loved the clubhouse structure and climbing features. There are also a lot of musical elements and a large grass field for soccer, frisbee and picnics!

10 – McMullen Park

Address: 200 Dayton St, Aurora, CO 80010

Check out this exciting slide structure at McMullen Park! My girls loved the obstacle course features and actually spent the majority of the time on the merry go round. It was nice to visit a park with full rubber surfacing – a great spot for the younger ages!
