Not a lot of shade on the playground side of things. The toddler slide was scalding hot so I wouldn't let my daughter go down it..

Not to mention a covered seating area with multiple picnic tables. They've also added a putting green area to practice your short game, but make sure to bring your own golf balls and putter/wedge. The park can get pretty busy in the summer with birthday parties, baseball games, and other group events, but it is a great environment and there are plenty of things to keep people busy.

What a great little park! There are two play ground areas. Don't be fooled... the one that's off…read more20th is actually for the preschool there and it's fenced in. The fence isn't too easy to see unless you're right on top of it. Anyway, Tanglewood Park has a nice sized field and a baseball diamond next to the play area. The playground is nice. There are two sections to it. The larger one has wood chips in it, and the smaller one has sand. The larger section has a large play structure with numerous slides on it. There are two regular swings and two small swings. The smaller side has a boat, a couple of rockers and a sand tractor thingy. While we were there, a lot of kids took their socks and shoes off to play in the sand. The area looked pretty clean, so this wasn't a cause for freaking out. There were about 5-15 kids playing at any given time, with some coming and going pretty often. There were moms and grandparents there, and they all seemed friendly and approachable. There is a large shelter next to the large playground. There are numerous picnic tables underneath, as well as two or three which are not under the shelter. When we visited, there were a ton of parking spaces in the parking lot, although I can see the lot filling up when there's a baseball or football game going on. In all, this is a nice and well maintained park.

Bravo, Arvada!!! Brought our just-walking toddler for her first splash pad experience and we…read morestarted off with a bang. Came on an early Friday afternoon so it was busy but not overwhelmingly so. Lots of age ranges (ours was the littlest but the big kids were very respectful) and so many fun water features that cater to a wide array of ages and comfort levels. Very clean and well cared for with plenty of shady picnic tables adjacent to the splash pad. Once we finished getting soaked (parents who need to be near their little one, note you will absolutely get drenched) we tried off in the playground which was also top notch. Lots of cool features and again, clean and cared for. When we needed a break from the sunny swings, there were more shaded picnic tables next to a huge grassy field. The charcoal grills are also huge. You could spend a whole day here, easy. I can't wait to come back for more fun memories!

Very bike-able going through on the nearby trail and all the sidewalks are wide for strollers, dogs, walking groups, and people biking or skating along. Really enjoy the design and open layout of this park. I've seen a few birthday parties hosted at the nearby tables adjacent to the playground. Still even on the weekends the park never seems to be over crowded. Even in the heat of summer the water features next to the playground are in use but not swarmed. Lots of nice businesses nearby you can walk to so a great location all around. Certainly one of the premier parks in the local area.

The only equipment of the playground which move, besides the swings, is the lone rocking horse. There is a large field with a path all around it.

There are 3 access points by parking in a cul-de-sac, and there's one path which looks like it goes to the street (to the north and west of the park). There's a decent field to run around in, full of lush green grass. The park is bordered by backyards. Some are fenced, others have bushes or minimal boundaries. During our short visit (rain), we saw two unleashed dogs without owners. Neither showed aggression, but you can never be too careful around unfamiliar dogs. There is a shelter with a couple of picnic tables. And there's a basketball hoop (no net) next to that. On the other side of the shelter there is a rocky horse and crane. I like that there are big established trees, which will be perfect for picnics. The playground is nice and fairly new looking with gravel instead of wood chips. There are no swings. One last note, as I walk around the playground, I see they've incorporated adult exercises, such as a crunch bar. Very cool!
