We went early on a Saturday around 10am and it wasn't busy. We stayed for a while bc the kids loved it. 4, 5 & even our 14 year old. We ended up leaving around 11:30 bc it got crowded and not very many people wearing masks. We will definitely be back again.

I love that there are two playgrounds--one for big kids and one for littles--and lots of fun musical components throughout the play areas. It was really cute and added such a fun, creative touch! The slides are huge, and there are swings, pogo sticks, and even a little free library. There's also a soccer field, tennis courts, and a big open field that's great for running around. The gazebo area has plenty of picnic tables and grills--perfect for a picnic or party. I saw a restroom but didn't go inside. Overall, a great spot to spend the day with kids!

My son plays here for hours! They got a playground good for younger kids and older ones. A covered area with picnic tables. Lots of lawn space for all the activities. It is right next to the highlands ranch library, we actually came here for the first time because they were doing an outdoor story time at this park. If you have kids I definitely recommend checking this place out!

It always seems busy, not too crazy, but it's obvious this is a favorite park for lots of families and those that keep an active lifestyle! I got a chance to walk some of the trails, and although it could get pretty hot in the sun (depending on the time of year/day), the shade from the trees are well worth the walk. Lots of runners, walkers, cyclists, and although I didn't see any, there are equestrians too. Watch out for horse poop! :) For the most part everyone seems to follow good trail etiquette and will let you know if they are going to pass. The kids love the playground, and if you like to shoot some hoops or play tennis, this place has everything. Note: parents/guardians need to watch their kids AND make sure they practice good etiquette themselves. If your kid is doing wrong, please discipline accordingly. Just because you kid is on the playground and throwing stuff they aren't supposed to (and you obviously know this is happening), do something about it. This really is an awesome park! Families and Active Peeps, this is your place!!!!

There are plenty of fun features--swings, slides, tunnels, and a cute ladybug and grasshopper spring rider. There's also a big gazebo with picnic tables, a water fountain, one grill, and a porta potty (though we didn't use it). Lots of benches throughout the park, too. Easy parking in the lot or on the street. Plus, it's right next to a soccer field, baseball field, basketball court, and the Lone Tree Rec Center. Such a convenient spot!

My dogs are bigger and need more room to run however. Important things: There are "regulars" (humans) who tend to gather in the middle area to chat which can mean they are not watching their dogs closely. Always pick up your dogs poop! There are plenty of trash cans and poop bags throughout the park. There is a short walk from the parking lot to the park, make sure your a dog is leashed the whole time.

However, it is sadly extremely common for people to bring unneutered and poorly mannered male dogs, who want to hump everything in sight. Since this is my go-to spot when crunched for time, I have seen a tremendous number of nearly-horrible situations, mostly caused by owners who haven't spent the time socializing or training their dogs. There is also an issue of mud. Forget about coming here when the snow is melting or after a rain. It is MUDDY. The dog park is sloped and the entrance is at the bottom of the hill, and so a lot of the water collects there. There is also no grass or gravel. All in all, it's a decent place to go, but I prefer Glendale open space because there is more room for the dogs to spread out, it's normally much drier even after the snow melts, and has a real walking path.

There is a huge slide where you have to either climb up rocks to get to the top or go up a huge set of stairs - very mountain climber-ish, but safe. They even have some play equipment that makes musical sounds. The ground is that rubbery surface that has some bounce to it. There's an area with small tables and it's covered, so there's always a little shade to be found. In the summer they have a splash pad fountain area. There's also a sports field at the park - a soccer/la cross field. I want to say it's turf, but not 100% sure. There are two parking lots and street parking for overflow.

I couldn't see anything but a blur of wood chips and the only thing I could hear was laughing little boys. I called out to my oldest, "Can you help slow down mom??" More laughing. I got bigger- I spun faster. I got smaller- I spun faster. After about a minute of trying to slow down with no avail I decided the only way out was to just thrust my body on to the ground and hope for the best. Luckily I still had enough equilibrium to find my way to about my hands and knees. I landed with a thud. I tried to look to see where my children were at, but the park around me was spinning so fast. My head was pounding. Still on my hands and knees, I threw up all over the wood chips. "Mommy are you ok?" All I could respond with was "ughhhh". Could I have caused a hemorrhagic stroke? Could I call 911 this disoriented? Eventually the world stopped spinning and I did what any good mom would do, "That was so fun! Do you guys want a turn?". Most pukey I've been at a park since Merry-Go-Rounds were a thing in 1993.
