Fun way to spend a couple hours! From driving around the Arsenal looking for bison and the rest of…read morethe animals, to parking in one of the lots and taking a walk around. My family and I have often visited this area as it's really close to where we live. We've driven family and friends many times, walked around the lakes, and even had family photos taken! Besides all those wonderful things, there's also a cool visitor center. Lots of information, a Bison figure, bathrooms, and a nice Discovery Room for children! Behind the Visitor Center is the Ferret Exhibit! Don't forget to take a stroll outside past the garden to visit the little friends. You can also go inside!

What an absolutely lovely experience. I went twice during a 1 week stay in the Denver area!…read more There are tons of walking trails that are so peaceful. Signs and maps were easy to follow. I went in early March and there were so many birds. The immediate scenery is flat prairie but you can walk around a couple lakes and the mountains in the distance are cool. We did the wildlife drive and got to see some bison fairly close. Would definitely recommend listening the the podcast while you drive along. The visitor's center is well done and the staff were nice and friendly. Overall would highly recommend for anyone wanting a nice peaceful walk in nature or to see the bison!

Beautiful and picturesque flat 14er! I found this location during my 2020/2021 Colorado relocation…read moreand fell in love. I should preface this with I LOVE COLORADO!!! I'm a San Diego native and yes it's home but Colorado has my heart. When you arrive at Barr Lake there is an entrance fee but it was minimal. I purchased the park pass. It was worth it. When you drive through the gate the speed is slow because there are multiple parking lots and turn off areas and pedestrians so keep an eye out. I drove to the last lot where the information center is and had no problem finding a parking spot. There were several people and groups already there and setting off on their walk. I joined them. It was a clear October day in 2020 and I was excited to walk and gawk and snap pictures. I walked about for over three hours and met some lovely people. I believe I snapped over 200 shots that day. It's one of my all time favourite places in Colorado.

It's about 30 minutes from Denver and I when I arrived it was so windy so I didn't get to explore much. I will say though, it's a beautiful State Park with tons of parking, picnic tables, benches, and places to grill and chill. A lot of trails in the park too that I can't wait to go back and check out. You can take a boat out there as well. Will update my review when I go back on a less windy day! ** Also huge shout out to Judy at the pay station- she was super friendly and very helpful with the questions I had for her. I enjoyed our conversations and she also gave me a red plastic holder to keep my state parks pass in, which I throughly enjoyed receiving. **

Looking for a nature inspired park? This is the place to go!…read more This is a nice 6-acre neighborhood park with a few activities available. There are walking trails, a play area, & an exploration area. This is not your typical plastic play equipment type of playground. In fact, it all blends into the landscape so fantastically well! It looks so natural, which was the goal, so kudos to everyone who imagined and made this park what it is! There are three separate play areas: 1) basket swings are suspended between large beams 2) jungle gym with a small climbing rock, a climbing net, and a couple of thick ropes 3) a large "fallen" tree trunk for climbing on The play equipment was made by: Handcrafted Nature's Instruments. Within this First Creek Park is the First Creek Exploration Play Zone. This Exploration Play Zone is what I came to check out. It is a little section which facilitates discovery and learning. More parks could set aside a small area like this! There are signs with suggestions, information, and question prompts. It's pretty cool! There are benches in the shade near the exploration area. This park has no restrooms and no parking lot that I could locate. I parked in the residential street near the end of E. 54th Avenue. Read the parking signs to make sure you're legally parked. I didn't explore every corner of this park, so I look forward to seeing other people's pictures of what I missed!

My favorite trail is the Royal Arch but you can't go wrong with any of the hikes. A lot of people also like to chill on the grass. If you get the chance, also schedule a hike with the park rangers.
