“One of the best playgrounds around Denver!! We have nothing but amazing things to say about it!”
Steve Allwood
“Visited Washington Park with our 3 kids (7, 5, and 3), and overall it was a good experience! The park is beautiful and well-maintained, but a bit spread out — something to keep in mind if you’ve got multiple young kids. ✅ Walking Track: My wife loved it. Peaceful, safe, and the perfect loop for a relaxing walk while still staying nearby. ✅ Playground: Fun and engaging, but split into different sections. Made it tricky to keep an eye on all three kids at once. 🐿️ Extra Bonus: Our eldest had a blast running around and chasing squirrels — total highlight for him! 👶 Toddler Experience: Our 3-year-old enjoyed wandering but needed closer supervision with how spread out things were. If you have multiple kids, just be prepared to stay on your toes. Still, a lovely spot for families to explore, walk, and play. Would definitely come again — just with a bit of a game plan!”
