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!
