While there are so many awesome playgrounds in wonderful neighborhoods around town, it was hard to narrow it down to just five for this reel! Here are five parks my kids love to frequent:
1. Barefoot Park
📍 Neighborhood: Flying Horse
This park has play structures for both Littles and Bigs, with swings, slides, climbing options, and a large grassy field. A huge bonus? Josh & John’s Ice Cream is within walking distance! 🍦
2. Mountain Vista Park
📍 Neighborhood: Mountain Vista
This playground is geared more toward bigger kids, with plenty of climbing opportunities and slides. There’s also a large grassy field and a basketball court, making it a great spot to spend an afternoon.
3. Greenways Park
📍 Neighborhood: Greenways at Sand Creek
A great spot for both Bigs and Littles! There are tons of climbing structures that encourage kids to use their imagination and explore. The setting is beautiful, with a large grassy field, oversized pond, and mountain views. It’s also conveniently located near all the amenities along Powers Blvd., making it an easy stop for a little playtime while running errands.
4. Wild Rumpus Park
📍 Neighborhood: Cordera
Inspired by the beloved children’s book Where the Wild Things Are, this playground offers plenty of opportunities to spin, climb, and explore. The open grassy field is perfect for running around, but my kids’ favorite feature is the rolling slide! There’s also a pavilion with shaded picnic tables. Tip: Go early! There are only a few parking spots in the designated lot.
5. Climber’s Park
📍 Neighborhood: Banning Lewis Ranch
There are four parks in Banning Lewis Ranch that my kids absolutely love, and Climber’s Park is one of our favorites! It has plenty to keep kids busy, including climbing structures, a merry-go-round, and a climbing wall. The double zip line won our family over—zip line races are a favorite around here! There’s also a basketball court, spacious grassy field, and pavilion with picnic tables.
