Best for long walks and older kids
The park excels as a transit point to Cherry Creek Trail and suits families wanting outdoor exploration rather.
Limited equipment for young kids
The playground has minimal climbing structures and features, better suited to older children than toddlers.
Bring water and use bathrooms first
Only one porta-potty serves the entire park, and water fountains may not be turned on.
