New Playground Brings Joy Back to Superior!

To say that Superior, Colorado has had a tough start to 2022 is a huge understatement. After the Marshall fire devastated so many homes in the area, I could not have been more excited to see that a new playground was coming to town! Our kids need places where they can relax, let go and bring out their imagination – that’s why Purple Park and its space-themed playground is the perfect new addition.

Unique Features

A long zipline divides the playground and was an instant hit! We are also huge fans of themed playgrounds so the climbable planet, constellation surfacing and asteroid belt tunnel were fantastic.

And if you’ve been following us for a while, you know that we love a good scavenger hunt! There are small emblems hidden around the park with each of the 10 shapes below. This park feature always leads to a lot of racing around trying to be the first to find each object – it’s hilarious! The search for the apple was the tough one this time 😉
