    First time there yesterday. Loved the variety of slides , swings. There are tables for picnics, charcoal grills. Nice water splash pad- just saw the set up, obviously not working as it's winter. There is one beach volleyball court. Facility restrooms during summer, portapotty during winter. Plenty of grassy open space for kites, or rv cars or playing fetch

    We've been going to this park for 7 years. It's always fun. Lots of people and birthday parties. Lots of green space, splash pad, and a playground. Fun

    Beautiful area with a great playground for the kids, a cute splash pad, and a nice walking trail. Lovely view of the mountains as well. My kids loved the playground while I took in the view. Very family and pet friendly.

    What a great park, lota to do but not too big. New features like a splash pad, but still enough shade. There are lots of places to sit in the shade that are close to the action so you can keep an eye on your kids. The kids were really nice too. Did I mention clean bathrooms? A must visit when doing some errands on a hot sunny day in Arvada.

    Great community park with green space, extensive playground for multiple ages, and a fairly elaborate splash pad. On site restrooms, covered tables, typically plenty of parking. It can get busy, so be advised.

    It was a nice park with a spray ground and a dry park. Unfortunately, this lady came and tried to throw down with another lady, but other than that, it was very nice.

    We had a great time celebrating a 1 year old friend's birthday recently! The splash area is fun and my 3 year old absolutely loved it. It's also nice and open, so my 1 year old could also roam fairly freely. Nice and clean, and a good variety of options for play.

    Great park, water in the summer! Always clean and nice trails in the area

    Our favorite place to spend the day with our grandkids, 3yo to 13yo. The splash pad is awesome, and the kids love the playground too. There's also lots of tables in the shade, although they do fill up quickly. The bathrooms are large and clean, good for changing in and out of swimsuits. So pack lunches and you've got a great day without spending a ton of money.

    Great place for family and kids. Everything was in good repair. All facilities were clean. Best playground I've seen for my granddaughter.

    The rubber ground is a nice change! Stays cooler in the summer and didn't seem to hold on to the ice in the winter. Nice woodland theme, big and little kids have plenty to do. Parking is a little confusing but it's right at the playground once you find the entrance. Splash pad is open during the summer but we never went because it's so crowded and there never seemed to be anywhere to sit.

    Amazing that we’ve never been here before! It’s near our Dr not our house but still. It was per chilly so we made it a short walk yesterday but will most likely be back. Great views, a playground, bathrooms and lots of open space.

👍👍 This is a clean and beautiful park. The kids ride their bikes around, fly kites, and search for awesome bugs and branches. There is a small stream passing through and a cute little bridge. There is not a restroom at "Train park" so make sure you go potty before you head out! You can also enjoy play...
