This June or July we are planning a trip with the grand daughters (age 4 & 6). Most of the time will be spent exploring, but we will need a park with some kid friendly amenities during downtime. Thinking something 25-50 miles around Denver. TIA for any suggestions.
Golden Clear Creek 4 and 6 - You are in the town of Golden _ within walking of the Creek (water) the rec center the Playground with everything they would enjoy - Ball fields are 1/2 block the Library is a block - Ice cream in town - about 1000' restaurants of all descriptions.
Did I mention it is the best place we have ever stayed with our Granddaughters when they were between the age of 1-7 They are now 7 and 9 and they still always ask to visit even when we fly out.
You are just minutes from downtown and a few more minutes from up in the Mountains.
Golden Gate is great but is a lot more fun with a large group.
OK now for the bad news - No Reservations-but if you call at 7 you can get on the list (we start at 6:55 and still are rarely the first on the list. If you miss out try the Jeffco Fairgrounds - just a few miles away and a good place to wait if you are not able to get right in,
If I can be of more help just ask.
BOL,
I just looked at the Golden Clear Creek website & there is a link for reservations.

At Cherry Creek State Park how deep into the park are the campgrounds? The reason I ask is that we are considering staying there for a couple nights and then using Uber to take us to a few places. Obviously Uber will not pay any fees to actually come inside the park so is it within easy walking distance from the actual camp grounds to get out to a public area where Uber can pick us up?
