    Experience Fantastic Views from this Playground in Golden!

    A playground in Golden with tall slides and incredible views?! You might be thinking about another playground we bring up often, Estates Park (link below), but not this time. Golden Heights Park is another fantastic playground! From the top of the slide, your kids will feel like they’re on top of the world. You will love the views, however it is very close to I-70 so it doesn’t have the peacefulness of Estates Park.

    Denver’s City Park Playground Grand Re-Opening!

    Today marks the grand re-opening of the Dustin Redd Playground at Denver’s City Park! The beloved castle theme runs through with custom equipment, complete with a tall castle tower and large climbable dragon. It has a different feel from the previous playground style, however, I think the kids will love the updates! There are also many additions adding to the inclusiveness and overall accessibility of the playground creating a safe space for all ages and abilities. For information about the reasons for the playground replacement, you can visit the Park Facility Projects page at denvergov.org. Thank you Rocky Mountain Recreation for the sneak peek!

    Centennial Center Park, a “Best Day Ever!” Reaction

    We finally made it to Centennial Center Park and found out why so many friends had told us to check it out! It is huge with a large, colorful splash pad and, in the words of my middle daughter, it was the “best day ever!” If you’ve ever met her, you know those are some of her favorite words, but with this park, we all agreed 😉 .
