Parks

Finding the perfect park for your little one can be a real challenge because there’s not always baby-friendly equipment, and older kids can tend to take over the playground. Here are some fantastic playgrounds with great people and equipment you and your baby will love.

Red-tailed Hawk Park

Besides having baby-friendly equipment like the net saucer swing where you can sit with your kiddo or the inclusive swing seat with a safety belt, the park has a spray ground. A soft spray shoots up in certain areas to cool off your baby, and they can play in the water. The spray ground is open daily from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. starting May 28.

Little’s Creek Park

Little’s Creek Park is perfect for young kids because it has toy spinners, small slides, and baby swings. The park also looks like a pirate ship! This park has two playgrounds right next to each other, so if one’s too busy, your baby can easily play on the other. This is also a great place to relax because of the pond, benches, and shaded areas.

Plum Valley Park

The park in Highlands Ranch has a little of everything that all ages will love. The park features animal spring riders, baby-friendly steps and swings, and even a separate toddler/baby platform with a slide. This is a great park if you have older kids, too, because of the tall playground with a giant slide.
