Musical Fun at the New & Improved Clement Park!

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…

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.

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.…

Hidden Gem in Lyons!
Just into the Colorado foothills in the small town of Lyons, you will find a true hidden gem of a park! LaVern M. Johnson park was not just a playground, it was a DESTINATION so plan to stay there for at least a few hours and invite friends along! Address: 600 Park Dr, Lyons, CO 80540 Unique Features: Where do I begin?? There is so much to this park that kids of all ages will enjoy! What struck me first was the whimsical feel to the play house and other play structures. It brings out so much imagination with who built the house and there is so much included outside…
