Globeville Landing Park

Four stars, because while this playground itself was really nice, there's no parking. You have to find parking across from the park in a gravel area and walk over. Also no bathroom (unless i missed it). The playground itself has some unique play features, toddler swings, sand pit, natural climbing features, covered pavilions, two jungle gyms, slide on the hill, and trash cans. Someone was resting on one of the playground structures, which was uncomfortable. Because of the location of this playground, i won't be returning.

Great park! Hard to get to via bike from the Highlands. Had to carry our bikes over a few sections of path littered with shattered glass. Not very fun or kid friendly. Otherwise the park itself is awesome. Love the variety in play structures. Being near the water is lovely too. Wish the paths were better maintained.

The playground itself is 5 stars, but the location gets 0 stars. SO many homeless people walking past. At one point, a sketchy guy on a skateboard started to head towards the bench where a friend and I sat our diaper bags. We ran to get back to our bags quickly and then he changed his course. 99% sure he was going to steal our bags. The paths nearby make it easy for homeless people to access and a lot come by on those electric scooters, making it super easy to come steal anything unattended and zoom off quickly. I felt really uncomfortable here and sadly won't be back for this reason. It also had a gross smell in some parts and the water feature by the sandbox was not working. Such a bummer that money was spent on this beautiful park in an awful location. There also isn't a good spot to park nearby. We parked in a dirt portion next to the building right across from the park sign, but I did not feel good about this spot. Not to mention tons of trucks come and temporarily block in your car there.

At the end of the South Platt River trail, this small park is a bit far from other parks in the downtown area and takes a while to reach through the trail. It seems pretty quiet, has great green spaces with a playground, however I couldn't find a restroom or even a porta potty, which is quite inconvenient.

Located right next to the Denver Coliseum and the Pepsi bottling company. And right next to the RiNo Art district, this park is gorgeous with beautiful views of the Platte River. It has tons of play areas for all ages! Parking can be a bit tricky. But we found parking along the side street leading to the Denver Coliseum parking lot.
