If you have plans to drive to the Colorado mountains any time soon, add Rainbow Park to your list of places to stop!

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.

NEW Inclusive Playground in Commerce City!
I don’t know about you, but this start to the school year has been tricky. We’ve been online, now we’re a hybrid model, we had a teacher out for a week…it’s been (and continues to be) quite the adjustment! So, when we finally felt like we had a good time to get back to the parks, we wanted it to be a big deal. We decided on Veterans Memorial Park, the new inclusive playground in Commerce City, and we were more than happy with that choice! The play area was huge, the equipment was colorful and great for all ages, and there was even a nature play area. Keep reading…

Unless your child has had soccer or baseball practice here, you probably have no idea that one of the best parks in Erie is tucked in this quiet neighborhood.

Have You Been to the Lafayette Chicken Park?!
My daughters and I love Silver Creek Park (or most well known as “the chicken park”) in Lafayette, Colorado! With its adorable scavenger hunt, long zipline and so much more, it is a favorite park for all in the area. Honestly, the only reason we don’t spend more time there is because there is no bathroom 😉 Address: 612-566 Starline Ave, Lafayette, CO 80026 This poultry farm-themed park was inspired by the previous owners of the property, the Nuoci family. There is a plaque at the entrance along with the historic grain mixer from their farm, noting “one of the region’s largest poultry farms from 1920 to 1978.” I enjoy…

Loveland’s Garfield Park (aka Junior Achievement Park) delights!
Did you know that Loveland’s Junior Achievement Park is now called Garfield Park?

3 Reasons This is Our Favorite Park in Commerce City!
This park has been on our list to visit for about a year and I am so glad we can now share it with you.

Address: 10725 Wheeling St, Commerce City, CO 80022 Bathroom/Shade: There is a single bathroom building with running water and hand dryer!

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.…
