Milliken Park

Splash into Fun at the Marine-Themed Playground

Let's be honest - Milliken Park's marine-themed playground is pretty special. The seahorse-inspired play structure stands out in the local park scene, giving kids something different from the standard slides and swings. The equipment has some minor wear (as any well-loved playground does), but you'll typically find just the right number of little ones here - enough for your kids to make some impromptu friends without feeling like they're waiting in line for everything.

Trail Connection That Actually Makes Sense

The park sits right along the High Line Canal Trail, making it a wonderful pit stop if you're out for a walk, jog, or bike ride. Whether you need a breather during your trek or you're looking for a starting point with parking, Milliken fits the bill. Bringing your bike? You won't have any trouble getting here on two wheels.

Nature That Doesn't Disappoint

Those large trees aren't just for show - they provide legitimate shade when Colorado's sun is doing its thing. The park balances developed recreation space with natural elements, preserving green areas while still providing places to play. If you're here as the day winds down, the open sky views at sunset can be quite beautiful.

Places to Play (For Real)

Milliken Park accommodates both structured sports enthusiasts and those who just want to relax. Kids can get creative on the playground while adults can claim a grassy spot for an impromptu picnic. For organized sports, the baseball and soccer fields are available for team activities.

The Practical Stuff

Don't let its modest size fool you - Milliken takes care of the essentials. The clean restrooms deserve a special mention (because park bathrooms can be hit or miss). There's a parking lot that makes driving here stress-free, however coming by bike is equally convenient. Nothing fancy, just the facilities you actually need for a good park day.
