About the Location

Play & Sport Areas

Little Dry Creek Park has that playground that neighborhood kids flock to - well-kept equipment that's ideal for the elementary school crowd. If you've got little ones under 3, just know the toddler options are a bit limited. Need to shoot some hoops? The full basketball court is ready for your next pickup game or family face-off.

Nature Spot

Little Dry Creek itself is a lovely feature of the park. This lovely little stream winds through the park, adding that peaceful water sound we all love in a green space. During summer months, you'll spot kids splashing in the shallow waters - honestly, what's more fun than creek stomping on a hot day? The park also features some perfect climbing trees that seem practically designed for adventurous kids to scale (while you pretend not to be nervous watching them, of course).

Community Hub

For Arvada residents, this park offers a nice neighborhood green space - a place to stretch your legs, clear your mind, or let the kids burn off energy. Maintained by Arvada Parks, it's one of those clean, well-kept green spaces that makes suburban living feel a bit more connected to nature.

The park welcomes you daily from 6AM to 9:30PM, so whether you're an early bird jogger or evening dog-walker, the timing works. One practical note: there's no dedicated parking lot here, so you'll need to find street parking nearby. Not a huge deal, but worth knowing before you head over.
