He's done intricate skate parks as well but we were just looking for something in the area to entertain him, my nephew and our youngest son. Separate playgrounds, a water splash park for summer and trails.

This is a great skate park for beginners to intermediate skaters/riders. It's very transition-heavy…read more(i.e. bowls, quarter pipes, etc.) so if you're into ramps, there's stuff to do. If you're more into street, it's quite limited. There are a couple stairs to jump down and a couple ledges and rails, but not much else. The skate park is on the small side and a lot of people enjoy skating the same things (mini bowl and the ramps in the middle of the park) so if there are +5 people, it can start to feel crowded.

I threw my son's 13th birthday party here, and I cannot more highly recommend the facility. We were…read moretaken care of by two managers, with Eric being our lead. Their attention to our needs and genuinely caring to ensure we were happy and taken care of the entire time during our event was outstanding. The kids absolutely loved the trampolines, the snowboard lessons, and the skatepark. I have thrown quite a few birthdays now for my two boys, and this was probably the best we've had thus far. Each kid was raving about it and can't wait to come back. I am definitely going to come back with the kids (and maybe without them too).

Aurora doesn't always get credit for the gems it's sitting on, but Wheel Park is one worth knowing…read moreabout. Tucked off South Chambers Road, this 15-acre complex was purpose-built for people who move on wheels -- and it still delivers, more than two decades after it opened. The centerpiece is a 20,000-square-foot concrete skate park that holds up well against anything in the metro area. There's a deep bowl with coping all the way around, a snake run with smooth transitions, and a street section with boxes, rails, ledges, and quarter pipes at different sizes. It's genuinely one of the more thoughtfully laid-out parks in Colorado -- beginners have room to breathe and work up to things, while experienced riders can string together longer lines without constantly dodging obstacles. Helmets are required, and the posted hours run 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., though there are no lights once the sun goes down. Beyond the skate park, the complex spreads out in a few directions. There are inline hockey rinks for drop-in play, a BMX motocross track with banked turns and rhythm sections, and a separate area with smaller dirt features for those who want to work on technical riding. The whole place has a working, active-use feel -- this isn't a manicured rec center. It's a place people actually come to get better at something. That said, there's some litter and visible graffiti around parts of the park. It doesn't ruin the experience, but it does reflect that maintenance attention could be more consistent. Go in knowing that, and you'll find a genuinely impressive facility underneath. Best for skaters, BMX riders, inline hockey players, and parents looking for somewhere their kid can spend a few hours doing something with their hands and feet. Worth the drive from anywhere in the metro.

Going down the trail towards frisco is quite fun and easy and you are mostly going downhill. Coming back up however is a bit of a challenge if you are not used to the altitude.

The river is very powerful and sounds so good while biking. If you happen to rent a by a ridden bike rentals off Main Street you can literally bike from Main Street to this trial. That's what we did and we absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. Great trail!

I was told I'd need to pay just to stand on the staircase and coach, with "insurance" given as the reason, but nobody could explain why payment changes anything if a waiver is already signed. This is a big change from previous visits. Also, the men's restroom was out of order when I was there, and you have to leave the building to use the restroom next door. That's a problem if you're supervising athletes.

This review is for the summer camp…read more I sent my 8-year-old to Woodward Copper's summer ski/snowboard camp two summers in a row, trusting that he would be safe and supervised. Both times, I picked him up severely sunburned, despite packing sunscreen and making it clear it needed to be applied daily. This year, I also discovered he had been watching YouTube on his laptop every night until 11:30 p.m. with no counselor checking in after lights-out. He came home with bloodshot eyes from lack of sleep, and neither he nor the camp contacted me about it during the week. I put a lot of time, money, and trust into sending him all the way from New York to Colorado, and expected at least basic supervision for an 8-year-old. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of oversight, communication, and care shown.
