Northmoor Sensory Playground (and a bonus playground too!)

This was a new term for me a few years ago, here’s what I found… A sensory playground provides a solution for children on the spectrum.

Loveland’s Dwayne Webster Park (aka “the Cannon Park”)
The City of Loveland has a goal to replace playgrounds every 10 years and in 2019, Dwayne Webster Veterans Park was a recipient! With it’s great location along Eisenhower, looking across at Lake Loveland, it is a perfect place to meet up with friends. If you’re meeting someone from Loveland, don’t be surprised if they call it the “cannon park” though because of the cannon just to the north of the play area.

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!

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! Address: 3432 W 125th Dr, Broomfield, CO 80020 Only downside is that there isn’t a bathroom nearby so might not be the place to go when potty training, unless you’re taking one of these along 😉 Unique Features: The park has so many unique features with my favorite being the building blocks instead of ladders or stairs. They’ve also made such…
