Oak Park

Play Areas & Fun Stuff

Found in Arvada's residential streets, Oak Park features a woodland-themed playground that's popular with children. The playground is divided into two separate play zones for different age groups, accommodating both toddlers and older children. With six slides and six swings to choose from, there's typically minimal waiting time.

If baseball or softball is more your speed, there's a field waiting for your home runs.

What we really appreciate about this park is its commitment to inclusivity. The adaptive swings and special accommodations for children with disabilities mean more kids get to join the fun. The partially accessible surface around the playground helps everyone move around more easily, but it doesn't cover the entire area.

Natural Beauty

One of the park's hidden treasures is the creek with its gentle, shallow flow - fantastic for little explorers to wade in and discover waterbugs without parents having to worry too much. It's a nice spot for some hands-on nature exploration.

Those mature trees aren't just pretty - they provide generous shade that makes summer visits bearable even on scorching Colorado days. The open grassy areas are just begging for kite flying sessions or impromptu tag games.

Get Together Spots

When hunger strikes or you're planning that family reunion, head to the picnic pavilion where tables await your potluck spread. It's nothing fancy, but it does the job for birthday parties, casual meetups, or just a change of scenery for lunch.

Neighborhood Space

Oak Park may not be massive, but it packs in everything a neighborhood needs for daily recreation - balancing active play spaces with quieter spots for relaxation. The scattered benches offer perfect perches for parents or anyone needing a moment to themselves.

For local residents, the convenience factor is huge - outdoor fun just a short walk from home. Just plan ahead for bathroom breaks though, as you won't find public restrooms here.
