Awesome park in a great location. Big play structure and smaller play structure are adjacent so bigger kids can play nearby the younger kids. Love the treehouse motif. Awesome shades picnic area. Plenty of parking. Will need to check out the splash pad next time. looked like a blast!

It's a nice park with a lot of space for your dog to run around and your small kids to play around. There's a water fountain area where the kids can get soaked in and play in. There's some covered areas to have your family can sit around and have some food.

The park is located in Arvada, good for little kids to enjoy the water fountains and slides swings. Parents can take a stroll around the park. The play ground around the park is good for small games for bigger kids. Plenty of parking but othe amenities are missing. There were no water fountain for drinking water. Restrooms were closed. Maintenance could be better

Wonderful park along the stream plus a large open area with great playground equipment. Looks like there's a water park for summertime. It's a long park that stretches quite a distance.

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.
