I found this peaceful little park in a quiet secluded section of Englewood. I was able to stop, rest and have my lunch here. Theres a large grassy area for sports or events and a large playground for the kids as well as a pavilion for picnics and a basketball court for shooting some hoops. It's nice to still find places like this inside a large city.

I've been coming here since I was a kid and now I bring my own kids here! Highly recommend for a fun summertime activity for the whole family.

I feel a bit silly for having just recently discovered this park, but what an awesome find. How did…read moreI not realize this was here sooner? So there's an awesome petting zoo and train that you can pay to enjoy but the rest of the park is just as incredible. There's a shallow creek that runs the length of the park. It's honestly one of the best places for kids to just free play safely in the summer. Lots of great trees for parents to chill under while the kids enjoy the water. It's a perfect picnic spot for sure. Go make a day of it! There's also a traditional playground near the petting zoo and train station. My kids said the water is cold but on a hot day, it's the perfect activity. There are restrooms as well. There's some covered seating with picnic tables but it's just easier to bring a nice blanket and find a tree to camp under (or bring some outdoor chairs). We did the petting zoo recently too. It's $3 per person for the petting zoo for anyone over the age of 2. Same price for the train. You can do one and not the other. Tickets can be purchased on site or online. They give you one token per ticket for each activity. So you can only go through the petting zoo once and take the train once on a paid ticket. The petting zoo has cows, pigs, a duck, goats, alpacas, chickens, etc. It's fairly small, but a good way to expose city kids to sweet tempered farm animals. My kids loved the train! It does a nice big loop around the park. And the best part is the tunnel you go through at the end. The train is also beautiful - pretty green, shiny train. I would say the only down side is parking. I've ended up parking at the Pirates Cove area both times I've gone. There's simply not enough spots. Go early in the morning if you want to enjoy otherwise you might be completely out of luck.

Grant Frontier park gets it's name from the students of Grant Middle school that cleaned up and petitioned that this land be turned into a park and the Frontier part comes from that this was the first place that gold was found along the South Platte River before Colorado became a state. A great place to visit, learn and enjoy.

We saw lots of locals walking their dogs, and the overall atmosphere felt safe and neighborly. The tennis courts could definitely use some love, but that didn't stop a few people from playing. The basketball court seemed in better shape. It's not a huge park--it's long and narrow--but it has a unique charm and was perfect for a low-key afternoon with the family. We brought lunch, grabbed a shaded table under a mushroom, and just soaked it all in. Definitely a great little stop for families or anyone needing a quick nature break in the middle of town.
