Lee Martinez Park: Playground, Trailhead and A Farm?!
When looking for a fun place to take the kids before school started, I took some time to review recommendations that you all have sent to me. What I found was that Lee Martinez Park has come up over and over again and I was honestly amazed that we hadn’t made it there yet! Well, you all delivered! Not only did we have an amazing time at the playground, but we also took the time to visit The Farm at Lee Martinez Park and they loved it.

Sandstone Ranch: Adventure Playground and Wheels Park
Upon entering Sandstone Ranch Park, you are greeted with a sign sharing that it is an “Adventure Playground and Wheels Park”. What a fun sounding experience ahead! Our first few times visiting Sandstone Ranch were for our school’s 100 Mile Club. The 0.7 mile path was perfect to get in some extra miles, but it was the promise of the “cow and turtle playground” that got the girls moving. As you’ll see below, the park is not only home to traditional playground equipment, it also has a farm themed toddler area, splash pad and skate park!

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…

The Most Fun You’ll Ever Have on a Tractor!
“Mommy, can we go to that barn park again? Pleeeeaaassseee?” At least once every summer, I get that question and I always know exactly which park the girls are requesting…Britton Park. This little gem is located just west of 68th and Sheridan, yet you would never know it existed, even if you drove along Sheridan daily! Britton Park is another one of Arvada’s best and you’ll see why… This post may contain affiliate links and while we may earn compensation when you click on the links, it is at no additional cost to you.

Twin Silo Park, A Farm-themed Playground Like No Other!
If you haven’t been to Fort Collins lately, I am going to show you why your kids will be begging for a trip there soon! Twin Silo Park is INCREDIBLE! I am calling it farm-themed because there are silos and a giant barn structure but that is really where the similarities end. We had never seen a park like this!

Address: 5552-5564 Ziegler Rd, Fort Collins, CO 80528 Bathroom/Shade: There is a well kept, large bathroom building as well as water fountains. The kids…

Favorite park in Brighton!
The girls and I took a day trip to Brighton, CO and visited 5 parks – it was a bit ambitious for sure! After all was said and done though, a clear favorite was shared by us all… Brighton Park is farm-themed and sits just north of the Brighton Recreation Center. The girls were in awe as we drove up and I had to pull them away when it was time to leave! Address: 555 North 11th Ave, Brighton, CO 80601 Recommended Ages: All! Any kid that enjoys playgrounds will find something here. The ramps and adorable farm animals make it perfect for the littles, and the three story slides…
