This Broomfield Park is Perfect for the Little Ones!
I get asked all the time about park recommendations and hands down, this is my FAVORITE if you have small children (under age 6). It is called Crofton Park! It was completely redone a few years ago so the equipment is beautiful and made with such attention to detail! Address: 3432 W 125th Dr, Broomfield, CO 80020 Only downside is that there isn’t a bathroom nearby so might not be the place to go when potty training, unless you’re taking one of these along 😉 Unique Features: The park has so many unique features with my favorite being the building blocks instead of ladders or stairs. They’ve also made such…

3…2…1…Blast Off at Quail Crossing Park in Westminster!
For all of your little future astronauts, you have got to make a quick trip to Westminster, Colorado! Quail Crossing Park is a small playground in a neighborhood just off of 136th & Huron, but it will bring your kiddos so much joy! WHERE IS IT?? First off, I will mention that I have found THREE different addresses for this park! The most accurate (that I got from standing right where you park) is here. If you just find the park on your phone maps, it may take you a block east of where you need to be – the clue is if you end up in a culdesac staring…

Hidden Gem in Lyons!
Just into the Colorado foothills in the small town of Lyons, you will find a true hidden gem of a park! LaVern M. Johnson park was not just a playground, it was a DESTINATION so plan to stay there for at least a few hours and invite friends along! Address: 600 Park Dr, Lyons, CO 80540 Unique Features: Where do I begin?? There is so much to this park that kids of all ages will enjoy! What struck me first was the whimsical feel to the play house and other play structures. It brings out so much imagination with who built the house and there is so much included outside…

Broomfield, What’s a Nature Play Area??
Last fall, a brand new park opened in Broomfield, Colorado so of course we had to check it out! McKay Lake Nature Play Area is one of the most creative playgrounds we’ve seen! Address: 2301 W 138th Ave, Broomfield, CO 80023 Recommended ages: Elementary (playground & small bike park) through High School (large bike park https://broomfield.org/BikePark) Do you have kids under the age of 6? What you should know is that your kids will enjoy the park but that it isn’t the kind of place where you sit and they go play. It is amazing and creative, however, there are many parts of the park where you will lose sight…

How it all began…
“Hi! I’m Leslie, Leslie Knope from the Parks Department.” I think that’s where it truly began… A television character inspired me and I began to embrace a love of all things Parks and Recreation. More specifically though, four years ago I was about to spend my first summer as a work from home mom with three girls ages 7, 4 and 8 months. I was CLUELESS on how to spend all that time out of school without spending a fortune finding fun activities! Then inspiration hit and, in true Leslie Knope fashion, we came up with our #parktour, a mission to find the coolest playgrounds in the area! The girls…
