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!

Climb the Moon at Star Meadows Park in Erie!
For my science loving 8 year old, this was high on her list to visit once she heard it had a moon theme! The girls loved that they could try climbing the moon, there were moon rocks to spin and a statue near the benches even showed the different phases of the moon. They also thought it was fun following the spiral path to be a human sundial! There was no shade on the playground but there is a large section of covered tables if you need a break from the sun. Also good to know, there is a portable bathroom right by the parking lot! Address: Flatiron Meadows Blvd,…

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.…

This Louisville Park Has a Bit of Everything!
I’ll be honest, I don’t enjoy splash pad parks that much as a parent. I think one of the girls slipped once and maybe I am carrying some irrational fears about the slippery concrete? I’m not sure. It’s also a lot more to plan for…you can’t just jump in the car and go…towels…wet car seats… Anyone else with me? I realized though that I was being kind of a baby about it so I promised the girls we’d find one. We ended up that day at Louisville Community Park and it was a great place to spend a couple hours with friends! Address: 955 Bella Vista Dr, Louisville, CO 80027…
