I love that there are two playgrounds--one for big kids and one for littles--and lots of fun musical components throughout the play areas. It was really cute and added such a fun, creative touch! The slides are huge, and there are swings, pogo sticks, and even a little free library. There's also a soccer field, tennis courts, and a big open field that's great for running around. The gazebo area has plenty of picnic tables and grills--perfect for a picnic or party. I saw a restroom but didn't go inside. Overall, a great spot to spend the day with kids!

My son plays here for hours! They got a playground good for younger kids and older ones. A covered area with picnic tables. Lots of lawn space for all the activities. It is right next to the highlands ranch library, we actually came here for the first time because they were doing an outdoor story time at this park.

It always seems busy, not too crazy, but it's obvious this is a favorite park for lots of families and those that keep an active lifestyle! I got a chance to walk some of the trails, and although it could get pretty hot in the sun (depending on the time of year/day), the shade from the trees are well worth the walk. Lots of runners, walkers, cyclists, and although I didn't see any, there are equestrians too. Watch out for horse poop! :) For the most part everyone seems to follow good trail etiquette and will let you know if they are going to pass. The kids love the playground, and if you like to shoot some hoops or play tennis, this place has everything. Note: parents/guardians need to watch their kids AND make sure they practice good etiquette themselves. If your kid is doing wrong, please discipline accordingly. Just because you kid is on the playground and throwing stuff they aren't supposed to (and you obviously know this is happening), do something about it. This really is an awesome park! Families and Active Peeps, this is your place!!!!

It has multiple playgrounds, ball fields, tennis courts and pavilions. Motorized traffic can enter on University street next to Goodson Rec Center.

You have access to either side of the park entrance off the main road. There is a crosswalk‍‍ and a beg button to safely cross. Watch out for coyotes in the area too. There are two porta potty clearly marked and camouflaged with the environment. SMART! I walked a few trails and blissfully absorbed the sounds of nature surrounding me. I like the ponds, the native wildlife and natural earth tone paths. One thing for sure is if you are out here for a period of time I would take some kind of bug spray. The mosquitoes were horrible. I also liked the sporadically places rocks, giant tree log, tree trunks and memorial benches place in this park. A soothing, gentle and relaxing atmosphere and area. I'll be back to explore more!

Easy parking in the lot or on the street. Plus, it's right next to a soccer field, baseball field, basketball court, and the Lone Tree Rec Center. Such a convenient spot!

Rolling hills, little walking paths that twist past flowerbeds and art sculptures, and that massive playground that makes you wish you were nine again. Kids were climbing, parents were sipping coffee on benches, and ducks were waddling like they owned the pond. Honestly, they might. There's a peacefulness here that sneaks up on you--whether you're circling the water, catching the mountain view in the distance, or just lying in the grass while the breeze moves through the trees. It's calm without being dull. Designed but not overdone. The kind of park that locals love and visitors remember. Westlands doesn't shout--it just quietly reminds you what a good day feels like.

There is a huge slide where you have to either climb up rocks to get to the top or go up a huge set of stairs - very mountain climber-ish, but safe. They even have some play equipment that makes musical sounds. The ground is that rubbery surface that has some bounce to it. There's an area with small tables and it's covered, so there's always a little shade to be found. In the summer they have a splash pad fountain area. There's also a sports field at the park - a soccer/la cross field. I want to say it's turf, but not 100% sure. There are two parking lots and street parking for overflow.

I couldn't see anything but a blur of wood chips and the only thing I could hear was laughing little boys. I called out to my oldest, "Can you help slow down mom??" More laughing. I got bigger- I spun faster. I got smaller- I spun faster. After about a minute of trying to slow down with no avail I decided the only way out was to just thrust my body on to the ground and hope for the best. Luckily I still had enough equilibrium to find my way to about my hands and knees. I landed with a thud. I tried to look to see where my children were at, but the park around me was spinning so fast. My head was pounding. Still on my hands and knees, I threw up all over the wood chips. "Mommy are you ok?" All I could respond with was "ughhhh". Could I have caused a hemorrhagic stroke? Could I call 911 this disoriented? Eventually the world stopped spinning and I did what any good mom would do, "That was so fun! Do you guys want a turn?". Most pukey I've been at a park since Merry-Go-Rounds were a thing in 1993.
