Colorado Springs adventure 🤠💦

John Venezia Park is one of those “wow” playgrounds, a little dated but massive, beautifully designed, and packed with features that are inclusive and ready for kids of all ages and abilities. The fun western theme includes play areas that feel like a little frontier town built just for kids.

Did I mention there is a splash pad?! And because the park is huge, there’s space for every age with long ramp-accessible play structures, wide‑open fields, shaded picnic spots, and trails that make it easy to stretch the day a little longer.

It’s the kind of park where you end up staying for hours.

📍 John Venezia Community Park, 3555 Briargate Pkwy, Colorado Springs, CO

Save this one for a fun Denver adventure!

Swansea Park is one of those neighborhood playgrounds that surprises you. It’s the kind of spot that feels welcoming for every age, whether you’ve got a toddler loving the playhouse or big kids on the tall slides or long zipline. There is so much fun to be had!
