Two Must-See Playgrounds in Firestone!
In our search to find the best playgrounds in Firestone, we asked friends in the area, reviewed the town website and looked for pictures on Google. That research brought us to our first park, however, the second park was small world coincidence for sure! If you have met us at a park, you probably found out about Slides & Sunshine from my oldest daughter. She could have a future in marketing! Anyway, after she shared what we do with a local grandmother at park #1, we found out that she was an expert on nearby parks! We had a short amount of time but she convinced us to make a…

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!

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.

Washington Park Playground Looks Completely Different! Love it or Leave it?
I had heard years ago that we should visit the “boathouse playground” at Washington Park in Denver. Little did we know as we finally made it there this fall, it was removed in September 2018! Apparently, that playground had been built decades earlier and the out-dated wooden structure caused safety concerns. Luckily, we missed all of the construction and found a brand new Washington Park playground completely finished. The reason for my article’s title…many rocks around the park had “Bring our old equipment back!” written with chalk. Apparently there are some that miss the old playground 🙁 I’ll let you be the judge – check out the new playground below…
