    Swansea Park, A New Favorite Denver Playground!

    This Broomfield Park is Perfect for the Little Ones!

    I get asked all the time about park recommendations and hands down, this is my FAVORITE if you have small children (under age 6). It is called Crofton Park! It was completely redone a few years ago so the equipment is beautiful and made with such attention to detail!
