So fun for all ages of kiddos!
Clean and welll maintained. People in park seemed be social distancing.
Great place to walk dogs and play with grand kids
Nice local park. It has 2 playgrouds...one for younger kids (good for 2 to 4 yo) and a larger one. Also a nice covered gazebo w picnic tables. Its also close to Excel Academy and so 50 yds away there is more playgrounds and 2 basketball hoops. My only suggestion would be for a bathroom, but otherwise great.
I sometimes see the youth slonking gang weed around the park. Still 10/10 tho. Shout outs to Tommy Lowe and Dan Hong
Cool little spot they got frisbee and picnic tables and outdoors type sports
My grandchildren loved it also its clean too
When i was underage i used to do smoke and drink down by the lower park benches. I still recomend it. Locals know about the bush tree too
Very clean, well-maintained.
Great playground for the kids with some open fields and sidewalks all around. My little ones began bike riding here because it is such a gentle slope. My only complaint is that there are always many, many dog walkers who always seem oblivious to the problems they cause.
Its a nice public park on the lake. Many people walk their dogs there. There are plenty of hiking trails too. The only downside of the area is the possible residual contamination from the Rocky Flats fire in 1969 that was near the area before it was shut down. .
This is by far our favorite park in Arvada! There is a huge field. The playground is unlike any other! It is brand new, and has some great features Ive never seen anywhere else. There is a huge, colorful climbing apparatus, along with a cargo net. There are two climbing structures: one for smaller kids and one for the big kids. The structure for big kids is still accessible to the smaller kids. There are great slides, including a HUGE spiral slide, a tunnel slide, and a curved fast slide. The best part was the fun stairs, which arent traditional stairs. They are basically just a block to step on, attached to a pole. Theres just a small railing for balance. Its fun and presents a challenge! There are also traditional stairs, and plenty of ladders and other methods of climbing. There are regular swings and baby swings, and also a teeter-totter, but not a traditional one. The teeter-totter is one you stand up on, similar to standing on a snowboard. There is a handle to hold. Even my small child loved this. On the separate section for smaller kids, there are bugs to ride and bounce on. The bee is big enough for an adult to sit in the back seat while the child sits up front. The structure here includes slides and ladders, and also a mini rock climbing slope. The ground cover is mulch. There are also trails to ride bikes on around the park. Theres not much shade covering the playground.
Great park with easy parking except at end of school day...pretty busy then.
Great park for little kids, and lots of shade in the summer.
Great play area for big and little kids.
Excel academys is also fun and open to the public outside of school hours.
Michael Northey Park is a nice little public space tucked back into the neighborhoods backing Standley Lake. There are several areas to sit, a moderately large playground, and a very large field with a 1/4 mile sidewalk loop surrounding it that is great for people who want to walk or bike but do not want to go far. The field also has a basketball court tucked into a corner. The park also sits along the Little Dry Creek Trail, which allows access to many other nearby neighborhoods, as well as the trails great views and long-distance destinations. There is parking, but it is a very small lot of around 10 spaces, to try to keep the park to locals, so its not crowded. The park also backs up to Excel Academy, a local K-8 school, that has 2 more playgrounds, as well as another basketball court and a larger parking lot, that are open to the public outside of the schools hours.
My kids love this place. Swings, slides, and a forrest makes this a favorite
Its a great neighborhood park. It sits on the Little Dry Creek Trail, has a playground, playing field, and a small covered area.
Great for long serious talks about life and relationships
Named in honor of a brave man.
Perfect place to kick the ball around
Great for biking, walking and relaxing!
No bathrooms or water fountain, other than that, this is a small, nice park.Busy with older kids from 3:15-4:00pm on weekdays, but otherwise it is an alright park for most preschoolers.Be ready for wood chips in your shoes.
Nice!
Great outdoor venue.
Kiddos love this park!
Beautiful park
Pleasant suburban park, but dull
Good spot to chill
