    We went on a terribly windy day, but the kids still had a ton of fun. They all enjoyed the playsets, especially the ones you can spin on and the maze (of sorts). There are great views of Denver and the surrounding area as well. On one side was a huge bike park with ramps and jumps and on the other side was a snowboarding hill.

    A beautiful park with a great view of Denver! Would be a great place to do a photoshoot or a music video. Was there at sunset and played on the swings and some of the rest playground while waiting for a dinner reservation nearby.

    Uh, a terrain park 10 minutes from my house? Yes please! A relaxed environment where I can safely fall on my arse a dozen times before finally executing a proper backside boardslide? Indeed. The rail yard has been around more or less since 2007'ish and is created by Winter Park. They blow a whole bunch of man-made snow once a year, around mid-january, and then when that melts, it's over. It's currently the beginning of February and there's still plenty of cover. Helmets are suggested but not required. Park hours are morning to 11pm (their site says 9pm but the park sign says 11pm) - the bright lights are on until close which makes this perfect for after-work fun times. IT'S FREE. There are occasionally some Ruby Hill volunteers or staff there helping maintain the roll-ins and landings. They also have a tool box with them should your bindings need some adjusting. They do make mild modifications to the features from season to season. For the most part, it's a beginners level park (that doesn't mean you won't see some skilled riders here buttering, jibbing, and making you envious/swoon). The features are low to the ground and the hill isn't very steep. Almost everything is a box, ranging from about 2.5 feet wide to 1 foot wide. This season there is a medium pipe/cylinder that leads onto a rail. There's also a small c-rail/box thing, and sometimes people build tiny little kickers at the bottom of the hill for a third thing to hit. Since the hill is mild, hiking up it is no big deal. Doesn't tire you out near as much as I thought it would. There are snowboarders, skiers, snowskaters, tubers, and sledders here. Everyone shares space well. Unfortunately the percentage of attendees is still about 98 percent dudes (I have been the only woman riding here on more than one occasion). So if you're a femme and reading this, go! It's really mellow. And a sh*t ton of fun.

    Driving from KC was tough on my kiddo so we went searching for somewhere to stretch his legs for a bit yesterday and Ruby Hill was an amazing find. Multiple play areas all including different types of stimuli for learning children! The maze was by far our favorite. From the picnic and play area you can look around to see all of the Denver metro, mountains, and places within the park like a bmx park and ball fields! I have to give 3 stars because there was SO much large trash littered around the play area midday. Definitely needs better upkeep.

    Construction is finally finished. The park has a new MASSIVE picnic pavillion that optimizes the 360 degree view of Denver and the front range. There is more parking and a new walking path to the brand new playground. The playground is state of the art with separate areas for every age group and some very unique features that you have to see. And there is still an outdoor pool for summer fun. Summer use of the park should increase with all the improvements but still a continuous trail through and around the park is lacking and there is little or no flat space for sport activities. The huge area and lack of people has made it a favorite of people who walk their dogs off leash. It is illegal but rarely infringes on other's enjoyment of the park. The park is most well known for its winter activities. The hill has been optimal for sledding anytime there is snow on the ground. And for the last few years Winter Park has made snow in January and installed a rail yard for snowboarding and skiing. Info at http://www.denvergov.org/recreation/RubyHillRailYard/tabid/432806/Default.aspx . Useful to note that there are now bathrooms available as well.

    Awesome views in every direction. That and it's proximity to several bike paths and neighborhoods makes this a very functional park.

    The bike park is awesome, lots of options for every skill level - pump track, dirt jumps, and a cross-country trail loop.

    Confluence Park encompasses the point where Cherry Creek flows into the South Platte River. This is…read morealso the spot where Denver was founded in May 1858. Beginning a city here proved to be a poor choice as the waterways were prone to periodic flooding. The City shifted to the northeast and this area was ignored and filled up with heavy industrial users. A huge flood in 1965 destroyed much of that infrastructure and provided an opportunity for redevelopment. The Greenway Foundation was a prime mover in the 1970s to create a park highlighting this area. A major update in the 1990s focused on floodplain management and further enhanced the park as a hub for the regional trail system. Today this is a highlight of Lower Downtown. Shoemaker Plaza begins at the REI building and extends down to the north edge of the South Platte River. The main park area begins at the south edge of the River and covers both sides of Cherry Creek. The trail system runs through this and continues north, south, and east. This is a beautiful space and exists in its own world, apart from the bustle of Lower Downtown. It is well worth a visit.

    This park is okay. It does have a nice sandy beach area next to the water. The bridge doesn't feel…read morevery safe and I always feel like i'm going to fall through the bridge. The only reason I give it 4 stars and not 3 is because it's next to commons park and you can just walk over to a nicer park that I enjoy.
