PH- Lindsley Park

Playground Hopping

  This park is technically the closest that I can find to where I usually am in Denver, but it also requires crossing Colorado Boulevard between 8th and 13th somewhere. This in itself is nerve-wracking, but after several walks there I've found that crossing at 13th (on the south side of the road, because if you cross on the north side the sidewalk ends soon after the intersection) is the safest and you can follow the sidewalk and use two push-button crosswalks. 

  The playground and park itself are quite nice and an easy go-to. There is a large climbing structure mainly for bigger kids, but it also has stairs going up, so I can hold my little guys hands and have him walk up with me and we can slide down the curvy slide together. There is also a small tunnel on the ground below the climber, which is fun to play in and next to. My little guy also likes to play with the steering wheel, walk along the cement wall to the sand area, and use the baby swings. This playground does have wood chips, so be prepared to find them everywhere and encouraging not eating them! Don't worry, mouthing is a typical developmental stage for an infant/young toddler, you just have to know when to draw the line for safeties sake and redirect their attention to something else.
