Overview

Named after a local astronaut, this park is a favorite for locals, and especially for kids. A rocket shaped jungle gym attracts hordes of young enthusiasts honing early climbing skills for later pursuits on the Flatirons. An large outdoor pool draws crowds from late May until late August. Skateboarders come for the 10-foot half pipe and the assortment of odd shaped mini ramps. During the winter the park becomes a sledding paradise.

I love this park. My parents took me and my sister here a lot when we were kids for the park during the summer and the sledding during the winter. The thing I remember most clearly about the park was these two huge metal sculptures that looked like two cymbals coming together, and when you walk between them and talk, your voice is REALLY loud and sounds different. I don't know if they are still there because I haven't been there in a while, but I hope to return this summer. This is a great place to bring kids, and in my opinion, it's well worth the time and money.
