The Best Park in Fort Lupton!
“Are you sure you want to bring along those roller skates?” “Yes! We HAVE to!” Who would’ve expected that my daughter’s insistence to bring skates would lead us to the best park in Fort Lupton?! Until a week ago, this wouldn’t have even been a thought. Thanks to some nice neighbors though, we have found ourselves the new owners of roller skates. Watching them attempt to learn on our sidewalk and street has been terrifying to me so when I heard about the open playground & skate park at Community Center Park, I gave in and we brought them along!

T-Rex Fans Will Love this Dinosaur Park in Boulder!
We sure love themed playgrounds and recently came across this dinosaur park in Boulder, Colorado (otherwise known as East Boulder Community Park). An older playground with well used equipment, but by far the favorite stop of the day for our girls. With the large T-Rex watching from the middle of the play area, it brings out imagination galore.

Kanemoto, One of the Best Parks in Longmont!
Near the southern edge of Longmont, just north of Prospect, you will find a new favorite place, Kanemoto Park. Not only is the playground fun (and next to a perfect summer pool for little ones), it comes with a bit of town history as well. In 1966, the land where the park currently sits was donated to the City of Longmont by the Kanemoto family. The seven-acre park was named after the patriarch Goroku Kanemoto (1882-1935) who immigrated from Japan in 1910. According to the Longmont Observer, the sons of Kanemoto, Jimmie and George, commissioned the Tower of Compassion (explained in detail below) in 1972 as a symbol of gratitude…

Have You Been to the Lafayette Chicken Park?!
My daughters and I love Silver Creek Park (or most well known as “the chicken park”) in Lafayette, Colorado! With its adorable scavenger hunt, long zipline and so much more, it is a favorite park for all in the area. Honestly, the only reason we don’t spend more time there is because there is no bathroom 😉 Address: 612-566 Starline Ave, Lafayette, CO 80026 This poultry farm-themed park was inspired by the previous owners of the property, the Nuoci family. There is a plaque at the entrance along with the historic grain mixer from their farm, noting “one of the region’s largest poultry farms from 1920 to 1978.” I enjoy…

Loveland’s Dwayne Webster Park (aka “the Cannon Park”)
The City of Loveland has a goal to replace playgrounds every 10 years and in 2019, Dwayne Webster Veterans Park was a recipient! With it’s great location along Eisenhower, looking across at Lake Loveland, it is a perfect place to meet up with friends. If you’re meeting someone from Loveland, don’t be surprised if they call it the “cannon park” though because of the cannon just to the north of the play area.

Namaqua Park in Loveland is a Pond-Themed Gem!
Our visit to Namaqua Park in Loveland, Colorado was brief but enjoyable. It was a peaceful location on the west side of town next to the Big Thompson river. I could definitely see us coming back on a warmer day or when we might be able to spot some of the elk that pass through (evidenced by the elk droppings throughout the playground)!

Loveland’s Garfield Park (aka Junior Achievement Park) delights!
Did you know that Loveland’s Junior Achievement Park is now called Garfield Park? It is worth knowing both names though because you’ll see this park referred to differently depending on where you look. Regardless of the name, this park was a fun stop in our tour of Loveland and each of my girls would recommend it.
