I wish I could update the map marker on here. The best place to stop at this park (if you're…read moredriving) is to go down Heritage Road to 4th Avenue. When you turn in toward the park, go to the dead end on 4th and there's a small parking area across the street from the houses. My son and I decided to try this park for sledding. We went to the park twice. The first time, it was so much fun because it had just snowed and the city didn't have time to plow the sidewalks yet. People had built a little jump and the hill is steep enough to get some speed going. The second time, the walks had been plowed, and going down was a bad, bad idea. We will definitely come back to this park in the summer, as there is a little playground area that my son is just dying to try out. I think this park would be fun to have a picnic at and walk the trails on. There are great views of the mountains and it's not overly crowded, at least not in the winter where you may or may not biff it going sledding and have to take your time from peeling yourself from the ground. And if you do get an audience to your shame, at least they won't say anything while you're still in earshot.

On the Southwest side of downtown Denver, this park has a pretty stellar view of the city and a nice lake nearby. There are fenced play areas for doggies to roam free and forget about puppy problems puppies face. The splash pad is seen within the park, and it's very useful for dogs to have more to do than just run around. This park is a much needed space for canines all around, and bring communities together. I like that it is also bike friendly and also close to the campus in Downtown Denver. There is seating areas with shading and also open from 5am-11pm daily. I found that there are play areas with "Low Energy Play," and the fence divides the sections. I enjoy seeing how organized the park is. There are little doggy waste poles all around the park that is also useful. This park is also helpful to students with dogs and homework time. Very quiet for homework and studying. This is one of my favorite doggy parks.

The foothills rising along the far side of the creek were beautiful, and there were many young families enjoying the beautiful weather and kids splashing in the creek. We saw several people fly fishing, people picnicking at several tables, and a bunch of happy dogs. Map signs of the park indicated that there are more difficult hiking trails available. After our visit we had a terrific lunch at the lovely Blackbird Cafe in Kittredge, about a mile to the west.

I'd like to start this review with a statement. I don't use Yelp to just leave negative reviews. If…read moreyou check, you can see that my reviews have all been positive ones. This park claims that it is accessible. Reality is...I'm not an able bodied person. I use a walker/rollator to help me get around. Without it, I might as well be in a wheelchair. With it I can navigate the local stores and activities. This park has some accessible parking spots. One in each lot. There is a break in the fence wide enough for a wheelchair to make it through. But in reality no wheelchair will be able to access the pit toilets available for use here. You have to enter through a half door that can swing back and forth and then make a sharp turn to access the toilet. No regular wheelchair could make that turn. You'd have to have one of those electric scooters that can turn on a dime. But to even get to the bathrooms you have to make it out of the loose dirt and rocky parking lot. Then maneuver the uneven dirt/grass ground to the bathrooms. My rollator walker didn't stand a chance to even make it to the bathrooms let alone anywhere else in the park I couldn't access with our car. My husband looked up this place after our daughter came here on a school outing and loved it. He saw that it is listed as accessible, but the truth is, it is not. I wanted to make sure anyone who is disabled or injured could read my review and make a decision based on it. I gave the park a rating of two because my husband and daughter still enjoyed themselves. My husband isn't super able bodied (he uses a cane), so by using his walking/hiking poles he could get around nicely.
