There was and still is, a splash pad here, and we would bring picnic lunches and meet friends for a fun day. This time it looks like a remodel/expansion took place, as I noticed how big it's gotten when I was here for a quiet evening walk. I bet when the weather is nice, it is crowded all the time! I'd bring my kids here if they were still little. Looks very friendly, open, and accessible to everyone as I noted the stairs as well as ramps on my walk.

My dogs are bigger and need more room to run however. Important things: There are "regulars" (humans) who tend to gather in the middle area to chat which can mean they are not watching their dogs closely. Always pick up your dogs poop! There are plenty of trash cans and poop bags throughout the park. There is a short walk from the parking lot to the park, make sure your a dog is leashed the whole time. Heritage Regional Park is extremely busy in the summer (hundreds of soccer games every weekend) parking lot may be full.

However, it is sadly extremely common for people to bring unneutered and poorly mannered male dogs, who want to hump everything in sight. Since this is my go-to spot when crunched for time, I have seen a tremendous number of nearly-horrible situations, mostly caused by owners who haven't spent the time socializing or training their dogs. There is also an issue of mud. Forget about coming here when the snow is melting or after a rain. It is MUDDY. The dog park is sloped and the entrance is at the bottom of the hill, and so a lot of the water collects there. There is also no grass or gravel. All in all, it's a decent place to go, but I prefer Glendale open space because there is more room for the dogs to spread out, it's normally much drier even after the snow melts, and has a real walking path.

Brand new playground in Castle Rock. Perfect for the five and under crowd. I just say that because…read morethe second we got here my 5-year-old said where's the monkey bars (which there really aren't any).

The small playground is geared more toward younger kiddos, with cute car-shaped spring riders, swings, and a little tunnel. Nearby you'll find a bike trail, grassy field, and a small creek. Seating and shade are limited--there's one bench and a gazebo with a picnic table and a grill. It's a nice local spot overall, just could use a little more upkeep--the trash was overflowing during our visit, and with the warm weather, there was unfortunately a bit of an unpleasant odor.

We visited for the first time with our church play group this week. It was a fun experience and…read morethey were accommodating to our group. The building was very clean and they were able to reserve some tables for us since we called ahead. The play structure was smaller than I expected. It was nice that I could see my daughter the whole time, but I was underwhelmed by the play structure and play options. The plane "simulator" is a video of a plane flying. I like that you can bring in your own food. The drinking fountain was not working. I dont know if that was on purpose or not, but it was convenient that right above the broken fountain there was a sign saying you could buy water up front. Online they say you need to pay for any kid who is 6 months or older or sitting up. I have a 7 month old who sits up. She did not play, but I also would not pay for her at this age, as she isn't mobile or playing with their toys. Overall I think this place is extremely overpriced at $18 a kid. My daughter enjoyed the play structure as much as she enjoys chick fil a's structure or the local recreation center. And this is more than double the price for both. I don't see us coming back for this reason.
