Great park in a random neighborhood. We actually spent about 2 hours here with the kiddos running all over.

They speed to and from the park - typically 3-5 students per car - and smoke pot, usually leaving trash behind on the ground despite the close proximity of multiple trash cans. There is also some sort of "fight club" situation where 20 to 30 teenagers are circled around two other kids who are fighting. These entitled little brats show absolutely ZERO respect for park goers or mothers with their children at the playground. During school season this is pretty much an every day thing. There are usually homeless people living in their cars on the street next to the playground. I'm looking out my window at one as I write this.

The equipment was a little wore out, but still fun. There were 4 slides (a double slide, a wavy slide and 1 twisty slide), swings, a seesaw and a lot of climbing elements. My son enjoyed his time here but the park was a little small for him as a 5 year old. They do have restrooms right nearby which is great (although we didn't use them so I can't comment on how they are). The sidewalks were very wide here too which is great for if a kid wants to ride their bike or something without disturbing walkers. My friends actually were riding skateboards up and down the street while we were here and never got in the way of others. All in all, it was a nice little park for a quick visit.

The park itself is surrounded by beautiful trails and open space with views of Red Rocks! There is one smaller playground structure offering a few different sized slides for all ages. 2 baby swings and 2 big kid swings, and some teeter totter equipment as well. There is also a basketball court and wonderfully kept softball field here. The parking lot is a good size and I see there are bathrooms but they seem to be locked quite often. There are a couple porta-potties next to those as back up.

There's a giant port-a-potty on site, but I haven't needed it, so I don't know what condition it's in.

This is a pretty nice park on a fairly quiet street in Lakewood. The landscaping is well done, and…read morethe picnic tables and play structures are pretty well maintained. The picnic tables are close enough to the playground that you can easily keep an eye on your kids from there. The infant swings were both lopsided. Someone took the bottom ring off each side, so one side on each swing starts on the second link, instead of the first. And they're kind of high up off the ground, so they don't swing as high. There are two regular swings, too, and they are also high off the ground. The play structure is really, really tall. There's a climbing wall on the side to get to the top. It can be kind of daunting to watch your young kid scale the wall like a little monkey. My son doesn't usually like slides, but he liked the tall one enough to scale the wall to get to it a few times. As we were leaving around noonish, there were a lot of other people who were coming to the park. Not really the types to want to walk or play in the park, but to stand around and do whatever it is they do. There is an on-site porta-potty, but I highly recommend against using it, as someone who is obviously not hygienic spread their grossness all around. Ewww. I'd still go visit the park itself, though.

There is a porta-potty, and a little covered patio area. Wood chips, some spinny toys, a little bouncy airplane to hop in and fly away.

Nestled quietly just off Holly Street, the park isn't huge, but what it offers is incredibly well thought-out. As soon as we arrived, the playground drew the kids in--newer equipment with climbing features and swings for both younger and older children. It was clear the park had been updated recently. Nearby, a small pump track loop let a few kids zip around on scooters and bikes, while others played pick-up basketball at the court just behind us. There was a lot going on, but it never felt chaotic. We walked the paved loop around the park--about a quarter-mile or so--under trees that offered enough shade to make it pleasant. People were out walking dogs, tossing frisbees, and there was a soccer practice finishing up on one of the open grassy fields. You could tell this was a place the local community really uses and cares about. The only hiccup was a brief moment when an off-leash dog came bounding too close to a group of toddlers near the playground. It didn't cause a problem, but it did remind us to stay alert. It seems some parkgoers treat it a bit like an informal dog park. We grabbed one of the picnic tables and snacked while the kids ran back and forth. It wasn't crowded, and everyone we met was friendly. No restrooms on-site except a porta-potty, which wasn't ideal, but manageable for a short visit. All in all, Ash Grove Park felt like a slice of real Denver life--nothing flashy, just clean space, updated features, and a calm, welcoming vibe. Perfect for a family afternoon or a laid-back solo stroll.
