Fairplay Park

Recreational Facilities

If you've got kids under 10 who need to burn off some energy, Fairplay Park on N. Altura Blvd. in Aurora, Colorado is worth knowing about. At just one acre, it's a modest little spot, but local families have come to love it for quick outings and afternoon play sessions.

It's one of those simple, unpretentious parks that doesn't try to do too much. Sometimes that's exactly what a neighborhood needs.

Sports and Play Areas

Got a budding basketball star at home? The park's half-court basketball setup is well-suited for shooting some hoops or playing a casual pickup game with friends.

For the little ones, there's a playground area that's particularly well-suited for smaller children, but kids of various ages can find something to enjoy here. The swings cater to both toddlers and bigger kids, so everyone gets a turn to soar.

Green Spaces

Sometimes you just need a patch of grass to stretch out on. The large field at Fairplay gives you plenty of room to toss a frisbee, kick a ball around, or simply spread out a blanket and enjoy the Colorado sunshine.

One of the park's quirky features that kids seem to gravitate toward is the ditch that occasionally fills with water. It's nothing fancy, but it's amazing how something so simple can become a highlight for curious youngsters.

Amenities

Planning a casual get-together? The park offers several picnic tables and small grills that make outdoor meals a breeze. There's something special about food cooked outdoors that just tastes better, isn't there?

Note that you'll want to plan ahead for bathroom breaks, as there are no restroom facilities available at the park.

Pet Friendly

Your four-legged friends are welcome here, making Fairplay a nice option when you and your pup both need some fresh air. Just be aware that bees can be active in the area during certain seasons, so keep an eye out if you or your pets are sensitive to stings.
