Bonfils-Stanton Park

A Bit of History

Stretching along Kentucky Avenue in Lakewood, Colorado, Bonfils-Stanton Park stretches out in a linear fashion, offering a green respite in the urban landscape. The park bears the name of the Bonfils family, who left quite a mark on the area's history.

What You'll Find Here

Kids will enjoy the small playground with its safety-focused squishy ground surfacing (because nobody wants a bruised knee ruining a good day out). Little adventurers can tackle the climbing features or zoom down the large slide that never fails to bring out the giggles. A gentle walking path meanders through the park, fantastic for both stretching your legs or getting in those daily steps.

The park's long, narrow design makes it ideal for a quick stroll or as a pleasant green corridor connecting different parts of the neighborhood. On those blazing summer days, you'll appreciate the shade trees around the playground area keeping things cool.

Why Locals Love It

While Bonfils-Stanton isn't massive, it offers that much-needed touch of nature for nearby residents. It's one of those simple, unpretentious spaces that serves its community well - if you're spreading out a blanket for a family picnic, taking your daily constitutional, or just need a moment with some greenery.

Getting There

Note that there's no dedicated parking lot at the park. If you're driving over, you'll need to find street parking or use visitor spots in the neighboring apartment complexes.
