The Best Park in Fort Lupton!
“Are you sure you want to bring along those roller skates?” “Yes! We HAVE to!” Who would’ve expected that my daughter’s insistence to bring skates would lead us to the best park in Fort Lupton?! Until a week ago, this wouldn’t have even been a thought. Thanks to some nice neighbors though, we have found ourselves the new owners of roller skates. Watching them attempt to learn on our sidewalk and street has been terrifying to me so when I heard about the open playground & skate park at Community Center Park, I gave in and we brought them along!

Musical Fun at the New & Improved Clement Park!
When we heard that there was a completely redone park in Littleton, of course we had to visit! Oh my goodness, it was amazing! It is a huge playground and was really crowded for a Wednesday morning, yet I felt calm. How can you not feel at peace at such a gorgeous location overlooking Johnson Reservoir with an incredible view of the Colorado mountains?!

Sandcastles and Splash Pad in Littleton!
Just off of Belleview and Santa Fe is a wonderful patch of fun! There is Pirate’s Cove water park, Belleview Park (future post coming very soon!) and Cornerstone Park. I decided to highlight Cornerstone Park first because it had something for everyone (and it is completely free 😉 ). Address: 5150 S Windermere St, Littleton, CO 80120 Be aware that there is also a “Cornerstone Ballpark” on the north side of Belleview. The first time I went, I followed the wrong directions and it took forever to get to the correct playgound on the south side! If you aren’t sure, head to Colorado Journey mini golf and continue past until…

Snow Cones, Splash Pad and Fun in Northglenn!
Just off of I-25 and 120th, you’ll find E.B. Rains Jr Memorial Park. The playground is large with areas for toddlers and big kids, a sand pit and a lot of room for hanging out. We’ve been to this park a couple times now and, unfortunately, every time it has been pretty crowded (it’s a popular spot for summer camp groups). My advice is to choose a central spot to leave your snacks & drinks and then keep a close eye on your kiddos. Anyone that listens to me talk about parks knows that I’ll always be on the lookout for restrooms. How that isn’t a requirement for all large…

The HIGHEST town playground in North America!
The town of Alma, Colorado is registered at 10,578 ft (!!) making it the highest incorporated town in North America. So, what did I have to do? See if there was a park of course! The Alma Park & Playground sits next to Town Hall and had such beautiful mountain views. It was June and still so much snow! Address: 59 Buckskin St, Alma, CO 80420 (Parking is at Town Hall) Recommended Ages: All! While the playground might not be huge, there are high monkey bars that are a favorite for my oldest, and there is also a skate park and basketball court. Your littles will enjoy the slides, bouncing…

Fun for all in Erie!
We have lived in Erie for 15 years now and, oh my goodness, it has grown so much! I couldn’t create this blog without sharing a family favorite – the playgrounds at the Erie Community Center! Address: 450 Powers St, Erie, CO 80516 (Note that this is for the building, the playgrounds are on the north side on the parking lot, near the baseball fields.) Recommended Ages: All! There are two separate playgrounds, with sections specifically made for 2 to 5 year olds and others designed for ages 5 to 12. Unique Features (for ages 2 to 5): My youngest loves the train area and always chooses to eat her…
