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.

Nearly renovated playground. Same footprint as before but worth an updated review…read more Shares parking nearby with the Irving Street branch of the Westminster library. You can also find street parking nearby just be sure to double check the signage for time limitations. You have some shaded area protected from the elements as well as a handful of tables. A good amount of grass for a picnic or playing sports. Even just rubbing around with friends or working on training with your pet. The main centerpiece is the new playground. Wish I had playgrounds like this when I was a kid. It's both aesthetically pleasing design and color wise as well as imaginative from its obvious layout design and open imaginative play design. (Nobody does but it gets the people going.) A fair amount of people loitering nearby. Park is open to all but the trash is not ideal for families and children to play. The park and playground are clean but you definitely see some refuse around that shouldn't be.

The difference here is that they don't have locked lockers and you'd want to bring a lock if you'd want your items secured. They sell combination locks at $6 a pop if you don't have one but need one. The pool was clean and well maintained, they have a small indoor lazy river that was a lot of fun. The hot tub and the steam room was bigger than the ones at the swim and fitness location. No lap pools and just open swim if you didn't come first thing in the morning. They have dedicated hours for lap swimming. What a nice view of the mountain and the city when you walk out of the rec center building, definitely will back for more pool fun!

It seems they are there to generate revenue, not manage the park area. They were extremely rude and condecending to me and my family. They treated me like I was wrong for just being there. Such a disappointing experience. A young female yelled at my 12 year old son because his feet were in the water! Unacceptable. Exercise caution around the park staff. Nice place but the park rangers there made it so negative I would not return.
