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.
That's a change/new -- the issue now is that it will be booked 60 days out - making it almost impossible to get in.
Still love it and if/when we visit it again we will enjoy the town and all it offers.
BOL,
