PH- Westlands Park (Greenwood Village)

Playground Hopping 

  Although this park is another drive-to spot, it is well worth it! Located near the Denver Tech Center in Greenwood Village it is nestled in between large office buildings and surrounded by trees, a large field and many walking paths. There is lots to see at this playground, and I especially loved how there were numerous things to play on and do for ALL ages. 

  Walking in from the parking lot is a big beautiful concrete wall with carvings of birds. You then see the play area below, which is a large structure for older children on one side, another side with smaller equipment for little ones including a sand box and swings, a large climbing wall to the back of the play yard, another play area with things to climb on that are very unique and interesting looking (should be a lot of fun with preschoolers and older), and there is also a tree house type stairway to climb, numerous picnic tables, bathrooms and paths to follow all around.

  We ended up walking down the path to a small covered area with numerous picnic tables overlooking what appears to be ponds (pic to the side), although they are currently doing construction. I laid out our blanket and we had some puffs, blueberries and water as we watched the digger- a new interest that my little one has!

    I would recommend this playground for a longer outing with snacks or a picnic to bring along. There is a lot to see and climb on, and I'm assuming that this playground is frequently filled with other little playmates. What a great spot to go! It would also be great for having two little ones of different ages, that way the older child can have plenty to do without leaving the little one with not much at all.
