Volunteer Fire Fighters Park

Firefighter-Themed Playground

Imagine a playground where little ones can live out their firefighter dreams! This park features a fire engine red playground that goes beyond your average swing set. The genius behind the design? There are two separate play zones - one perfectly sized for the tiny tots and another where older kids can really test their climbing skills.

Throughout the playground, you'll spot firefighting-inspired details that add a fun educational touch about these community heroes. Kids can zoom down slides, swing to their heart's content, scramble up climbing structures, scale ladders, spin around on rotating seats, and conquer a towering climb. The star of the show? A tall tube slide that has kiddos lining up for "just one more turn."

Recreation Facilities

When it's time to switch from play to sport, you'll find several options. There's a full basketball court for shooting hoops and two baseball/softball fields where future MVPs can practice their skills.

Planning a gathering? The picnic area with tables and a reservable pavilion makes this spot ideal for birthday parties or family get-togethers. Scattered across the grounds are multiple grills - ideal for those summer cookouts when hot dogs and burgers are calling your name.

Landscape and Amenities

The park's large mature trees cast cool shadows across the grounds. On those scorching Colorado summer days, these shady spots become prime real estate for picnic blankets and portable chairs.

Gentle walking paths meander through the park, ideal for a leisurely stroll or a family bike ride. There's also plenty of open grassy space where you can toss a frisbee, let the dog stretch its legs, or simply spread out a blanket and watch the clouds drift by.

Note that there are no public restrooms available here, so plan accordingly before your visit.

Community Connection

The park's name isn't just for show - it genuinely honors the volunteer firefighters who serve the community. For kids fascinated by fire trucks or dreaming of sliding down a fire pole someday, this playground sparks both imagination and appreciation.

Maintained by the Arvada Parks Department, this green space is part of the city's network of public recreational areas. It's a place where neighbors connect and families create memories, welcoming visitors of all ages.
