I visited the playground as a pit stop between Rocky Mountain National Park and Denver, a spot where my child could scramble around on the bouncy, resilient rubber matting instead of being confined to a carseat. We found the park by accident, driving straight up through downtown Winter Park. Situated right in the heart of the shopping district, Hideaway is hidden from whom exactly? Bears in the woods? Posh skiiers in their $500,000 condos? It certainly isn't from the road, set back slightly from the crosswalk and sinking back deep. The play equipment is in great shape and nicely durable, not the sort of ancient metal slide that scalds little thighs and calves or the monkey bar prisons parents dread because we have no way to extricate our children without being accused of violating the Geneva Convention. Of course, we're violating it allowing our little one to be the prisoner of Metallialand. Plentiful benches and perches give adults a spot to watch the entertainment, and impromptu lunch from one of the many cafes nearby are very easily done. I enjoyed this little spot while we were here. It was tidy and open, though I did have to chase down my little one a few times to keep him from playing in traffic. Barring that hazard, it's a great spot the locals clearly get to enjoy.

5 stars for winter snow, first time visit, and sledding for little kids (2-5). I can't say what the…read morepark is like without snow but looks like it should be good too. Sleds and tubes were provided by the park. We brought our own. Some brought kid skis and snowboards. More anecdotally, we had a great time. There were a few other families. Although we didn't talk to any of them, everyone coordinated well and parents made sure the path was clear before letting theirs kids down.

We've been here several times before. Whenever we are in Winter Park... this is the place to go…read morewith or without kids. First of all, this is FREE fun! Yes... I said FREE! If your kids are not old enough to go skiing, snowboarding, or tubing, this is a great introduction to the snow. I have brought my kids here when they were toddlers... and now that they are older, they still don't mind coming here. FREE Sledding?! Yup! You can bring your own sled, but if you don't have one, they have free sleds to use, and the most recent visit had tubes too! I'm not sure if they just provide these sleds/tubes for people to use and/or if people choose to leave their sleds kind of like a donation. We actually left our sled there. We figured that we've been blessed with this place with free sleds/tubes and a fun sledding hill, so we might as well pay it forward. Besides, we live in Denver... and there isn't that much snow to go sledding often. Although the signs say a certain age limit...adults and kids of all ages were going down the sledding hill. This really is a fun place. Our most recent trip to Winter Park consisted of coming here 2 days in a row. When you have kids that are old enough to ski/snowboard/tubing, but you don't want to pay the lift fees and/or rentals this place is a great alternative. Besides the sledding hill, there is a playground for the kids to play.... and you can stay warm by the fire pit. Bring your own hot cocoa, tea, or coffee. Also, Pokémon Go players... there are several stops and a gym here :) If you're looking for an inexpensive place to have fun... this is the place.

SAFE: I see people out in this park coming from the local stores, riding a bike or walking their dogs at 2;00AM often, becuz Aspen and I are often out in the fresh air. What this park offers: A nice walk in the early morning, called the ART WALK, circumventing the entire park, around the skate/bike area, circling the Civic Center and Police department, up past the Pavilion, returning to either parking lot. There are extensive Jungle gym play areas for the kiddos, ball Park, Volley Ball net over sand, several large green pasture areas with rolling hills to play ball with your dog, "Keep your Leach and doggy bags ready!!" AND, there are two Pavilion areas, one with an outdoor grill, bring your own charcoal. Smaller area for gatherings of choice, no reservations necessary, or check with the Civic Center at 1800 North Harlan Street at the front desk. This is a Lakewood City Park. Some people love their dogs to play, others, just keep walking with a leach attached to your dog This is a dog town, possibly more than kids, small - quaint, if you might react to the Skunk weed, bring a mask, at times the area air is a bit Skunky.... Great workout in the early morning or the cool of the night, as I stated, at 2-3AM people are out in the quiet of the night, full view of the Stars and Moon. Walker Branch Park is NOT an off leash dog park, yet most are friendly and many meet up for dogs to have some fun and freedom Aspen loves the early morning "Orange Ball Play" and sometimes we meet up with another doggy for a doggy romp as we leave for Arvada where there are plenty of "Off Leash Dog Parks!" Enjoy

They have many of the amenities you'd typically expect at a park: picnic benches, baseball fields, basketball hoops (no full court), a playground. There's even an area for volleyball and a roller hockey rink. However, what makes this place unique is the fact that there's a skate park in the middle of it! I can barely stand on a skateboard, let alone do a trick on one, but I still think it's pretty cool that this exists. It's not anything too crazy but it seems like it would be a lot of fun. I walk my dog around here sometimes and it's always entertaining to watch people skating around.

Maybe down the road some of the large grass area could be used for a gazebo or covered picnic area as many other local parks have. Nice paved walking paths around the park and cutting through. Large playground with activities for all sized children. The middle of the park is open grass. Dogs should still be leashed up but I know nearby neighbors take well behaved dogs off leash to play. Down the street is a larger park for your medium to large sized dogs to run and play. Pretty standard park you'll see otherwise. Please pick up your dog poop and use the trash cans provided for any snacks or garbage you see or bring with.

It's tucked away in a cute little neighborhood behind the EPA building. There is a makeshift basketball court from a closed parking lot. A nice walking path winds through the park, although I'm not sure if it makes a complete loop. There are tennis courts and a baseball diamond. There is a small shelter with picnic tables next to the playground. As for the playground, it's right next to a parking lot. The playground is rather small. It's wooden, which is awesome. It just needs to have a metal slide to make it really retro. They had an elephant, tiger, seal, and rocket (?) rocker thingys. Two little swings and two regular swings. My young son was bored with the playground equipment before he used up all his energy. Bummer. All in all, this is a very pretty park with nice flowers in a quiet neighborhood. As for the playground, I doubt we'll be back to enjoy it.

Dress warmly through April Dogs are smiling while scampering greeting other dogs. People are smiling while walking or speaking to other dog lovers and how wonderful this park is! With lots of balls rolling on the ground. Great features: there is running water throughout the year. This is a "Locally Held Non-Profit Dog Park" with people who are designated via volunteering, cleaning up, adding bags, ""Donation Drop offs (PLEASE DONATE)"" Fencing and equipment checked regularly. The city of Arvada ran water lines through the multiple watering fountains. Lots of bowls to be filled and cleaned (please!) Anyone may volunteer through the non-profit or simply help clean while your dog/s are happily running off and playing with other dogs. There are many informative signs for everyone's protection including your dogs! Please adhered to them. Easy entrance way for two large fenced off parks with multiple covered sitting areas, some with running water and LOTS OF DOG BOWLS, please consider cleaning. Many leave their dog-leads on the entrance fences, there are 3 gates to bring your dog into the area, one to take off the lead and prepare to enter the huge running area where people are smiling - saying hello- and walking briskly as a workout.
