Swing into Space at Westmoor Park in Greeley!
After a full day of touring playgrounds, we almost missed one of the best, Westmoor Park in Greeley! Luckily, I happened to be chatting with another parent at Aven’s Village playground (definite must see as well) and she recommended we go to “the spaceship park”. The kids were dragging with exhaustion, but the minute they spotted the swing zipline, they took off running! Aven’s Village at Island Grove Park is a must see playground in Greeley too!

Introducing the Best Park in Superior!
No offense to the other playgrounds nearby, but the girls have decided that Wildflower Park is the “best park in Superior”! With our current environment of social distancing, the first thing I noticed was the size of the play area – it’s huge! Each element is separated allowing families to spread out if needed, but aside from distancing, it also gives it that open feel perfect for enjoying a Colorado day!

Unique Play Experience at Sugar Beet Park!
I was intrigued when a friend mentioned Sugar Beet Park in Fort Collins, Colorado. I had no idea what a sugar beet was, let alone how they’d design a playground around it! What we found was an extremely well done park design giving homage to the history of Fort Collins. It is like visiting an outdoor museum!

NEW Inclusive Playground in Commerce City!
I don’t know about you, but this start to the school year has been tricky. We’ve been online, now we’re a hybrid model, we had a teacher out for a week…it’s been (and continues to be) quite the adjustment! So, when we finally felt like we had a good time to get back to the parks, we wanted it to be a big deal. We decided on Veterans Memorial Park, the new inclusive playground in Commerce City, and we were more than happy with that choice! The play area was huge, the equipment was colorful and great for all ages, and there was even a nature play area. Keep reading…

Grand Re-Opening of Erie’s Crescent Park Playground & Challenge Course!
My daughters and I were absolutely thrilled to be part of the Virtual Re-Opening celebration of Crescent Park in Erie on September 28th! I don’t know if the girls really grasped the Leslie Knope coolness factor of that or if they only heard “you get to be the first kids to try out the playground”…either way, none of us could wait to get there! No longer are the faded play structures to be seen, this new GameTime equipment is bright and eye-catching. One side has the more traditional elements (slides, swings, spinners) and the other side is a 7 piece challenge course! This post may contain affiliate links and while…

Greeley’s Inclusive Playground Provides Fun for All!
Have you visited an “inclusive playground”? Chances are that the playgrounds near you are “ADA compliant” but there still aren’t many features made for kids of all abilities to enjoy. I love Aven’s Village in Greeley because it is truly inclusive, in other words, designed for ALL. The rubber flooring and ramps allow easy access for wheelchairs, the chair zipline and swings give everyone a turn, and the overall feel of the park is happy and playful. Aven’s Village at the Island Grove Regional Park joins our list of best themed playgrounds in Colorado. Its “Old West” theme shines through in every direction you turn and it is absolutely worth…
