Let Their Lights Shine at Countryside Park!

Sandcastles and Splash Pad in Littleton!
Just off of Belleview and Santa Fe is a wonderful patch of fun! There is Pirate’s Cove water park, Belleview Park (future post coming very soon!) and Cornerstone Park. I decided to highlight Cornerstone Park first because it had something for everyone (and it is completely free 😉 ). Address: 5150 S Windermere St, Littleton, CO 80120 Be aware that there is also a “Cornerstone Ballpark” on the north side of Belleview. The first time I went, I followed the wrong directions and it took forever to get to the correct playgound on the south side! If you aren’t sure, head to Colorado Journey mini golf and continue past until…

Most Adorable Park in Golden (and fun for big kids too!)
Oh my goodness, after visiting 4 other parks in Golden, Maple Grove Park took the prize for best of the day! This park was recently redone and is absolutely adorable. What I loved most as a parent is that the park is like two semi circles (little kids on one half, big kids on other half) and a perfect SHADED set of benches and table in the middle. I could see all of the kids no matter where they were playing! Address: 14600 W 32nd Ave, Golden, CO 80401 Age Recommendations: 0 to 12 years. This park is perfect for very young kids with bright colors and separate play area.…
